Now that I have a blog to share the things I love with you, here is my recipe for these lovely little balls to enjoy with loved ones (or colleagues) over Christmas:
Serving size: Serves 10 or more
Cooking time: Approx. 1 hour
Ingredients
1 plum pudding
1 cup of rum*
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped glazed ginger
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup walnuts
1 x 250g block of milk chocolate
Extra coconut for coating
Method:
- Break up the plum pudding, add coconut, rum, fruit and nuts, mixing all ingredients until they're well combined.
- Melt the block of chocolate either in a double saucepan or in the microwave on a low to medium heat, stirring until the chocolate is runny.
- Stir the melted chocolate throughout the mixture; combine well.
- Take small spoonfuls of the mixture and make ball shapes by rolling them in your hands.
- Roll the balls in coconut.
- Keep in a sealed container in the fridge until you're ready to serve, or you can store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
*Depending on how jolly you're feeling, feel free to add a little more rum
