The Christmas Posts: Recipe for Christmas Pudding Cake Pops

Welcome Back people! In this episode, we'll be showing you how to make Christmas Pudding style cake pops. These really are time consuming, but hey, the Mayans got it wrong so we got plenty of time to play with now. 

The only Christmas Pudding I'm eating this year. 

Equipment

Electric mixer 

Mixing Bowl

Craft knife (or just a really sharp knife)

Chopping board (or a surface which you don't mind scratching)

Rolling Pin 

Lolly sticks

Baking tray

Grease proof paper

Ingredients

200g Madeira Cake

140g-160g White Chocolate

300g Milk Chocolate

Ready-to-Roll icing (festive colours)

To make the Cake Pops

1) Pulse the Madeira cake into a mixer until the cake resembles fine breadcrumbs. 

2) Melt the white chocolate in a microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a bowl over simmering water. The chocolate must NOT bubble. It should be a smooth consistency. 

3) Combine the chocolate and crumbs together using your hands. 

4) Roll the mix into 10 small balls using the palms of your hands. Place them on a grease proof lined baking tray and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 

6) In the meanwhile, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl over simmering water.

7) Once the balls are set, insert a lolly stick (or any other firm stick) into the melted milk chocolate and insert into the balls, one at a time. Once done, return to the fridge to set for another 5-10 minutes. 

8) Once set, take one ball on a stick and dip into the melted milk chocolate. Make sure you cover the ball evenly, rotating the stick around so the chocolate is covered all over the ball. Place them in a glass, polystyrene or cake pop holder to keep them apart and to prevent from sticking to one another. 

9) Roll out the white icing to make the drizzle on the Christmas Pudding effect. Cut out the shape and place on top of the cake pop once the cake pops are completely dry and set. Roll out the holly shape from the green and red icing and finish. 

The fun in making these cake pops actually comes when you are decorating them. They were a pain in the ass to make, but definitely worth it because they looked so cute!
