Ingredients

Pudding:

• 2 tsp mixed spice

• 300ml thickened cream

• 500g cream cheese

• 1 tbs vanilla extract

• 100g frozen or fresh cherries

• 3 tsp gelatine powder

• 100g matured fruit & cognac Christmas pudding

• 2/3 cup caster sugar

• 40g pistachios

Decorations:

• 1/2 cup fresh cherries

• 100g white chocolate

• 40g pistachios

Directions

Step 1

Whip cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Cover and set aside in the fridge.

Step 2

Place gelatine with 1 1/2 tbs boiling water in a small bowl. Mix briefly to combine, then set aside.

Step 3

Line a 5-cup capacity pudding mould with two layers of baking paper, allowing it to overhang the sides.

Step 4

Place cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment and beat until no lumps remain. Add sugar, vanilla and mixed spice and beat until fully combined, scraping down the edges and bottom as required. With mixer running, gradually beat in gelatine mixture until combined.

Step 5

Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in crumbled Christmas pudding, pistachios and chopped cherries. Working quickly, transfer mixture to prepared pudding basin. Smooth the top of the pudding with the back of a spoon and refrigerate for six hours or overnight until firm.

Step 6

When ready to serve, flip pudding onto a serving plate and remove baking paper. Drizzle with slightly cooled melted chocolate, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and whole and halved cherries.
