Christmas pudding cake pops

MAKES 20

You can add a splash of Baileys for extra cheer – or leave it out for a family-friendly treat.

YOU WILL NEED

3 Madeira cakes, approx 250g each, or use up leftover cake
300g white chocolate, melted,
plus 50g white chocolate melted and cooled slightly
80ml Baileys, optional
150g dark chocolate,
melted Shop-bought edible holly, to decorate (optional)

You will need:

Pop sticks, plus a piece of foam or polystyrene (optional)

HOW TO DO IT

1 Whizz the cake in a food processor to fine crumbs. Tip into a large bowl and add the 300g melted white chocolate and the Baileys, if using. Mix well, to a dough-like consistency.

2 Roll into walnut-sized balls, about 40g each. Insert a stick into each and chill on a lined tray for 20 mins.

3 Once firm, dip the cake balls in the melted dark chocolate, getting a full coating. Next place the cake pops in a piece of polystyrene or similar so they stand upright, then chill until set (about 20 mins).
