Ingredients You'll Need
Gather the following ingredients to make your mini Christmas plum pudding:
1 cup dried mixed fruit (such as raisins, currants, and cranberries)
½ cup chopped almonds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon brandy or rum
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Soak the Dried Fruit
To start, place the dried fruit and chopped almonds in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to soften the fruit.
2. Prepare the Pudding Mixture
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the molasses and brandy or rum.
3. Combine the Ingredients
Drain the soaked fruit and stir it into the pudding mixture. Gradually add in the dry mixture and mix until well combined.
4. Prepare the Mini Puddings
Grease six mini pudding molds or oven-safe ramekins and divide the pudding mixture evenly between them. Cover each mold with a layer of parchment paper and a layer of foil, securing tightly with string to prevent any water from getting in during the steaming process.
5. Steam the Puddings
Place the molds in a large pot and add enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the molds. Cover the pot and steam for 2 hours, checking periodically to make sure there is still enough water in the pot.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Once the puddings are done steaming, carefully remove them from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes. Unwrap the puddings and gently remove them from the molds. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or your favorite holiday sauce. Enjoy your mini Christmas plum pudding with your loved ones!
