These petite delights feature a buttery
sweet shortcrust pastry, perfectly
complemented by a spiced mincemeat
filling infused with the warmth of
cinnamon and topped with an almond
crumble that adds a delicious crunch to
every bite.

(or if prefer you can make your own)
200g Christmas mincemeat
1 tsp. cinnamon
40g ground almonds
60g caster sugar
50g butter
METHOD
1. Prepare and roll the pastry, and
sprinkle with cinnamon.
2. Use a cutter to make circles and press
into a prepared mini muffin tin (24 size).

sugar together, then rub in the butter
until it forms breadcrumbs. Note:
grating the butter first can make it
easier to work with.

MINI CHOCOL ATE
XMAS PUDDINGS
Recipe by Jennifer J.
A fusion of finely crushed biscuits,
luscious fruit mince, and a touch of rum,
adorned with chocolate and cherries –
these Mini Chocolate Xmas Puddings
are a joyful indulgence in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups finely crushed plain biscuits
410g jar of fruit mince
100g melted dark chocolate
50g melted butter
1 tbsp. rum
Red and green glace cherries
(enough to decorate puddings)
METHOD
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Cool mixture in the fridge until set
enough to roll into small balls. Then
put them back into the fridge to firm
up again.
3. Melt 200g dark chocolate and dip
balls in to cover.
4. Melt some white chocolate in a
plastic bag. Cut a small piece off a
corner and pipe the white chocolate
on top of the balls to represent cream.
5. Chop up the red and green glace
cherries to look like cherries and
leaves and place them on top of the
puddings. I use two toothpicks to
help decorate them.
Note: The recipe makes 50-55 mini
puddings.
