Equipment

  • Heatproof bowl
  • Microwave or saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Parchment-lined baking tray
  • Piping bag or zip bag
  • Holly leaf cutter (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g milk chocolate
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 180 g mini marshmallows
  • 100 g Rice Krispies cereal
  • 50 g white chocolate
  • red sugarpaste
  • green sugarpaste
  • red and green food coloring gels (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a heatproof bowl, gently melt milk chocolate and butter together. Stir in mini marshmallows and continue stirring until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the warm mixture over the Rice Krispies in a large bowl. Mix well until evenly coated.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly. Dampen hands with water or a little oil, then shape into small round balls. Place on parchment-lined tray.
  • Chill the shaped puddings in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt the white chocolate. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle over each pudding to mimic frosting.
  • Shape tiny holly leaves and berries using sugarpaste. Add food coloring if needed. Place gently on top of each pudding.

Notes

• Use oil-spritzed hands to shape without sticking
• Chill before decorating for best structure
• Want softer texture? Avoid overheating the mix
• Make ahead? Freeze undecorated for up to 6 weeks
