Rocky Road Christmas Puddings

I have some spherical silicone moulds which I used for this and they are very easy to get out. The quantities below actually made 13 puddings - so you get to sample one and make sure it's ok before serving it! You can make one large pudding by using a large bowl, just make sure you line it with cling film to make it easier to get out.

Method

  1. Break up the biscuits into pieces and cut the cherries in to halves or quarters - make all the pieces about the same size as the marshmallows. Put all this aside for later.
  2. Break up the dark chocolate into pieces.
  3. Put the golden syrup and butter into a saucepan and heat gently until it's melted.
  4. Take off the heat and stir in the chocolate until it's all melted.
  5. Mix in the marshmallows, cherries, biscuit pieces and honeycomb.
  6. Tip into silicone moulds and put in the fridge to set.
  7. The marzipan holly decorations can be prepared in advance, or you can get something ready made to save time.
  8. Once the puddings are set, pop them out of the moulds. Melt the white chocolate to decorate and top with the marzipan holly.
