You will need:
- 500g dark chocolate buttons
- 395g tin of condensed milk
Let's make it:
Step 1:
Break up the Christmas pudding or fruit cake in the bowl of a food processor and blitz until it forms coarse crumbs.
Step 2:
Place the dark chocolate and butter in the Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer bowl, attach the scraper beater and fit the Heatsplash™ guard onto the bowl. Turn on HeatSoft™ and select MELT. Mixing on low speed then gradually increasing until the ingredients melt together and the mixture becomes smooth. Turn HeatSoft™ off.
Step 3:
Add the Christmas pudding or fruitcake crumbs to the melted chocolate and brandy (if using) and mix to combine.
Step 4:
Line a tray with baking paper. Roll large tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls, and place on the lined tray. Transfer into the fridge to chill for 45 minutes.
Step 5:
Meanwhile, wipe clean the mixing bowl and add the white chocolate. Fit the Heatsplash™ guard onto the bowl. Turn on HeatSoft™ and select MELT. Mixing on low speed then gradually increasing until the chocolate is completely melted. Turn off HeatSoft™. Use a teaspoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the truffles, and decorate with slices of cherries.
