This Christmas Pudding will suit some of your really tricky guests - vegans, gluten free people, & most Paleo dieters too. Also refined sugar free - depending on your coconut ice-cream. Best thing is you can prepare it well in advance & it's very quick & easy!

Ingredients

500ml tub of coconut ice-cream (plain, vanilla or chocolate all work well) 1/4 cup rum soaked raisins (30ml rum or use rum essence to your taste) 1/2 cup of Bliss Ball mix (or more) 100g chopped dark chocolate 1tsp mixed spice 100g flaked almonds 100g melted choc for topping Fruit to serve

Method

1) Get the ice cream out of the freezer while you chop or grate the dark chocolate, so it's not rock solid. 2) Once ice cream has softened just a little (not too soft), & chocolate is grated or chopped, mix all the ingredients through the ice cream quickly. Press mixture firmly & evenly into a pudding shaped plastic bowl, or pudding mould, & return to the freezer to set. 3) Once set hard again, remove from freezer & run a little hot water over the outside of bowl / mould to allow it to slide out easily. Place pudding onto a serving platter with fresh fruit to decorate. 4) Pour melted chocolate over the top to decorate, & serve sliced up with fresh berries / cherries.
