So I have shaken my Sloe gin (Left) and Raspberry gin (Right) today - the raspberry red colour is gorgeous and will make a nice pressie for someone. I also made chocolate christmas balls which are currently in the fridge setting and when I pull them out I will cover them in more chocolate -yum! Chocolate Christmas Balls
800gm christmas cake
200gms dark chocolate
120gms unsalted butter
3-4 tablespoons of Brandy (or 2 of orange juice)
2 tablespoons of finely chopped glace cherries or citrus peel
Crumble christmas cake into large bowl, add brandy and set aside. Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler or glass bowl in hot water, when melted add to christmas cake/brandy mixture. Mix well, then using a teaspoon make small balls, rolling them around in your hands. Place on lined tray and put into fridge to set for 1 - 2 hours. Then ice with more chocolate and return to fridge until icing set. Makes 30 - 40 little balls.
You can use white chocolate on top of dark chocolate and use glace cherries or jelly lollies to make them look like little puddings. Yummy!!!
