Christmas pudding is a tradition in many families but can be heavy after a big Christmas dinner. This lighter, raw version has the flavours of a traditional pudding but is more suitable for the hot summers in the southern hemisphere and is much more nutritious. It is simple to make with no cooking required at all.
Raw Christmas puddings
Ingredients
- 8 medjool dates
- 150g dried apricots (sulphur free)
- zest and juice of 1 orange
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Blitz dates and apricots in a high speed blender, remove into a mixing bowl and add orange zest, juice and spices.
- Blend nuts until small pieces (I like to leave some texture). Mix nuts with wet mixture and press into mini muffin moulds
- Put in the fridge for a couple of hours, remove carefully, leave upside down and top with melted white chocolate and a fresh raspberry.
