Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, break apart the fruit cake / Christmas pudding into crumbs with forks (or use a food processor). Pour over thebrandy (or water)and mix well.
700 g fruit cake, 2 tbsp brandy
Place the dark chocolate melts into a small glass dish and melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring each time, until melted and smooth (around 1-2 minutes).
100 g dark chocolate melts
Pour the melted dark chocolate into the fruit cake mixture and stir quickly with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spoon out 1 heaped tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball, then place on the tray. Repeat until all the mixture is used up, leaving an inch gap between each truffle.
Place the white chocolate melts into a small glass dish and melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring each time, until melted and smooth (around 1-2 minutes).
100 g white chocolate melts
Drizzle around 1 tsp of melted white chocolate over each truffle to look like custard. Before the chocolate sets, place a piece of maraschino cherry on top of each one. Pop in the fridge for at least 30 mins to set.
