Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups (9 oz255 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups (9 oz255 g) milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1 can (14oz/400g) condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons (2 oz/58 g) butter
  • 3 tablespoons golden syrup
  • ½ pack (7 oz/200 g) digestive biscuits, crumbled.
Instructions

  1. Grease and line a pudding bowl with 3 layers of cling wrap. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl add the chocolate, condensed milk, butter and golden syrup and gently melt together in the microwave or over a Ban Marie.

  3. Fold in the crumbled cookies.

  4. Fill the prepared pudding bowl with the mixture. Put it down firmly and flatten it out with a spatula on top.

  5. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight to set. (It can stay in the fridge for up to a week.)

  6. When ready to serve, remove it from the pudding bowl and place it on a plate. Decorate with fondant to resemble a traditional Christmas pudding. Slice and enjoy! Store at room temperature.
