Ingredients
Scale
125 g golden syrup
125 g unsalted butter
200 g milk chocolate, finely chopped
200 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
100 g mini marshmallows
150 g digestive biscuits, chopped
150 g amaretti biscuits, chopped

100 g raisins
100 g white chocolate
75 g unsalted butter
150 g icing sugar
Green food colouring

Instructions
Line a small to medium metal bowl with clingfilm, ensuring the entire interior is covered to allow easy removal of the pudding later.
Finely chop both milk and dark chocolates and set aside.
Chop the digestive and amaretti biscuits into a mixing bowl, then add mini marshmallows, glacé cherries, and raisins or other desired ingredients.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and golden syrup together until completely combined and the butter has fully melted.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped chocolates. The residual heat will melt them. If lumps remain, return briefly to heat, stirring until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl of chopped biscuits and fruit, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture into the lined bowl, pressing down firmly to compact, then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight until fully set and firm.
Once set, melt the white chocolate gently and pour over the top of the pudding as a decorative topping. Allow it to set.
Cream the unsalted butter and icing sugar together until smooth. Add green food colouring gradually to achieve the desired shade for holly leaves.
Using a piping bag, create holly leaf shapes with the green buttercream on top of the white chocolate-covered pudding.
Place red M&Ms scattered on the buttercream holly to mimic berries. Allow the decorated pudding to set completely before serving.
