Fruit & Nut Mini Christmas Pudding Bites recipe
Quick & easy no-cook festive snack made of fruit & nuts
Ingredients
| 280g | mixed dried fruit soaked overnight in the juice of half an orange (and a little sloe gin!) - we used dates, raisins, sultanas & cranberries |
| 250g | toasted nuts, whizzed in a processor until ground (or leave a little texture if you like) - we used mainly almonds & pecans |
| 1 | orange (zested & juiced) - zest first then use half the juice to soak the dried fruit and the other half to make the icing |
| 1 | lemon (just zest) |
| 1/2 tsp | ground cinnamon |
| a good grating | nutmeg |
| 150g | icing sugar, sifted |
| a good squeeze | orange juice |
| thyme leaves for decoration |
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180C and toast your nuts for 5 minutes before whizzing in a food processor until ground (do leave a little texture if you like).
- Whizz up the fruit in the processor, add the ground nuts, zest and spices and combine.
- Form into small balls and place in the fridge to set.
- To make the icing, mix the sifted icing sugar with enough orange juice to make a thick paste then drizzle on top.
- Finish off with a few thyme leaves if you like
