Method
Note: this recipe requires an additional 45 minutes for chilling.
- Break up the Christmas pudding or fruit cake in the bowl of a food processor and blitz until it forms coarse crumbs.
- Place the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water. Stir until the ingredients melt together and the mixture becomes smooth. Add the melted chocolate and brandy if using to the Christmas pudding or fruitcake crumbs, and stir to combine.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and becomes smooth. Use a teaspoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the truffles, and decorate with the slices of cherries.
