I have been making these mini Christmas puddings for a few years now and they are always a hit! Perfect for the hot weather we have at Christmas time here in Australia, these mini Christmas puddings are so simple to make (no cooking required) and are the perfect end to a big Christmas feast.

With all of the traditional Christmas pudding flavours (without the heaviness) and the goodness of real food, these mini Christmas puddings are Gluten, grain and refined sugar free! Take them along as a shared plate to a Christmas party or serve them to your guests on Christmas day.

Method

Blitz dates and apricots in a high speed blender,
Remove into a mixing bowl and add orange zest, juice and spices.
