How to make Christmas pudding cake pops from leftovers!

  1. Blitz your leftover pudding in a food processor to break it up a little.
  2. Youll be left with a lump-free, sticky mess the perfect consistency for making cake pops.
  3. Add the zest of an orange.
  4. Next, melt 100g of white chocolate either in the microwave or over a bain-marie and fold it into the blitzed orangey pudding.
  5. Mix everything together until fully incorporated.
  6. Divide the mixture into six parts and using your hands roll each piece into a smooth ball, about the size of a walnut/very large truffle.
  7. Place them on a baking tray or plate lined with silicone/greaseproof/baking paper, and transfer to the fridge.
  8. Leave for 30 minutes, to firm up.
  9. When the time is nearly up, melt 300g of dark chocolate.
  10. Remove your Christmas pudding balls from the fridge.
  11. Dip a lolly stick into the chocolate about 1 to 2cm in, then immediately plunge it half-way into a pudding ball.
  12. Repeat with the remaining balls, and then transfer to the fridge for five minutes.
  13. Meanwhile, get a block of polystyrene ready, or an upturned cardboard box.
  14. Poke six holes into your polystyrene/box using one of your lollipop sticks; this will be your cake pop holder.
  15. Transfer the remaining dark chocolate into a large mug.
  16. Dip the cake pops one at a time into the chocolate, tapping them on the side of the mug to lose any excess chocolate.
  17. Nestle the cake pops into your makeshift cake pop holder and allow to set at room temperature for at least half an hour (or in the fridge for 15-20 minutes).
  18. Just before the time is up, melt 50g of white chocolate and allow it to cool for 3 to 4 minutes.
  19. Carefully spoon about half a teaspoon of white chocolate on top of a cake pop, and gently nudge it back and forth with your spoon so that it runs down the sides a little.
  20. Pop a holly decoration on top, or draw your own on with some green and red writing icing.
  21. Enjoy that day, or the next.
