Indulgent Christmas desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 750g mixed dried fruit
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) brandy
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh orange juice
  • 200g butter, at room temperature
  • 120g (2/3 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 115g (3/4 cup) plain flour
  • 5.00 gm mixed spice
  • 105g (1 1/2 cups) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
  • 100g good-quality dark chocolate, finely grated
  • 250ml (1 cup) thin cream
  • 12.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 40.00 ml brandy
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 150°C. Brush eight 250ml (1-cup) capacity muffin pans with a touch of melted butter for a perfect non-stick finish.
  • Combine the mixed fruit in a large bowl. Warm the brandy and juice in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes until warm. Pour the mixture over the fruit and stir well. Let it sit for 30 minutes to soak.
  • In a bowl, use an electric beater to mix the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift the flour and mixed spice over the butter mixture. Add the breadcrumbs, chocolate, and fruit mix. Stir until fully combined.
  • Evenly distribute the mixture into the muffin pans, then use a spoon to create a smooth surface. Top each pudding with a piece of non-stick baking paper. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  • In a small bowl, use an electric beater to whisk the cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Stir in the brandy until combined.
  • Scoop puddings onto individual plates and generously dollop with brandy-infused cream before serving.
