Chocoholic's Christmas pudding
15 comments
"tasty, but.............. some ingredients - tia maria & coffee - were listed as for topping when in fact they are used earlier to sprinkle over sponge, some may put these into topping where they should not be? I would change the instructions/directions or reordered them. It would have been better if the cream was beaten and the eggs whites beaten, before melting the chocolate. If doing as listed, the chocolate begins to set, making any folding in near impossible, with some unofficial beating required! Would also recommend that you cut the circles of sponge for base & half way up before you cut pieces to line the sides, lest you have none left! i would make this again, for a special treat, but with reordered directions. (Yes I know reading the recipe first is sensible, but I do like things made easy!)"
