Carina's Mini Choc-Rum Puddings

Ingredients 

• 250g moist chocolate cake, crumbled
• 1/4 cup ground nuts
• 1 tablespoon golden syrup
• 2 tablespoons rum
• 50g butter melted
• 1/2 cup fruit mince
• 150g dark chocolate
• 15g white vegetable shortening
• 60g white chocolate
• 1 tablespoon cream

Combine cake crumbs, nuts, syrup, rum, butter and fruit mince in a large mixing bowl.

Stir until mixture comes together. Roll into small balls. Place on tray and refrigerate until firm.

Place dark chocolate and shortening in a medium heatproof bowl. Stand over a pan of simmering water, stir until chocolate and shortening have melted and the mixture is smooth.

Using 2 forks, dip balls into melted chocolate, let excess run off and place balls on tray, refrigerate until chocolate is firm.

Place white chocolate and cream in a small heatproof bowl and melt over a simmering pot of water, stir until chocolate has melted.

Spoon half a teaspoon of the white chocolate on top of each ball and allow to run down the sides (this will look like custard on a plum pudding), place a small slice of glazed cherries on top before chocolate sets.

Very nice with coffee

Enjoy  Carina, Erika & John
