Instructions

1 Crush the Ginger Nuts.

You have a few options easiest is to put them in a bag and bash with a rolling
pin or any other weapon of choice. You want some chunkier bits and some bits of
dust.

You can also put them in a large bowl and use something like a masher and go at
them like a large mortar and pestle.
2 Next in a large saucepan place the Dark & Milk Chocolate (broken up), Butter,
Golden Syrup, Zest of 2 Clementines and the juice of half of one of the
Clementines and melt together over a low heat. You can swirl this to help it
along and make sure it is all combined.
3 Once it is all melted allow to cool slighty as you dont want the marshmallows to
melt. Then tip in the crushed Ginger Nuts, Dried Cranberries & Mini
Marshmallows.

Mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until everything is coated in
chocolatey goodness.
4 Line a large bowl or a spherical mould, I used strips of reusuable baking paper,
cling film would work also.

Press down on the mixture to compress it and stash in the fridge to chill and
set for at least 4 hours but over night is better.
5 Once your pudding is chilled you can unmould and place on your plate and keep in
the fridge.

Now you need to make the decoration if you are colouring the red and green you
want two small pieces of fondant one ball about 1.5 inches and the other half
the size. The larger one knead in the green gel food colouring and the smaller
knead in the red.

Sprinkle the worktop or large board with icing sugar and roll out the White
Icing to a circle, using a knife cut out a 'splodge' think of drawing a sun or
star but with curves not points.

Brush with a little water and lay over your pudding, if you wanted you could use
the syrup from a jar of stem ginger as a very delicious glue.

Cut holly leaves out of the Green Icing and roll the Red Icing into small balls
to act as the berries use water to glue these to the the top of the pudding.

Proudly present your pudding and enjoy!
