Mini Mid Winter Red Velvet Christmas Puddings

Phew! What a mouthful! 

These delicious little treats are made using your basic truffle/ rum ball method, I used red velvet cake as my base but have seen similar recipes using proper christmas cake (which I don't like). So. 

Bake a red velvet chocolate cake.

Crumble up said cake once cool. 

Add icing (cream cheese in this case) 


And for extra flavour, a handful of chopped cranberries and a dash of rum.

Combine.

Roll into little balls and refrigerate. (I left mine in overnight)
 
'Whip up' another batch of cream cheese icing.
Drizzle over each mini pudding and add a cranberry to the top. 
Refrigerate. Consume.




This is also a sneaky trick you can use for cake/ cupcakes/ muffin failures.
 Dip in chocolate for truffles or decorate and add a stick for cake pops.

Bite sized mid winter christmas treats!


Enjoy x

  3. YUM. They look fantastic! I really don't like proper Christmas cake either so the red velvet cake idea is much better :)
