About this recipe
Christmas Pudding Tiffin Balls Thermomix TM7 recipes bring all the joy of a traditional Christmas pudding into bite-sized, no-bake form. If you have been searching for an easy festive dessert or homemade sweets recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this is the one to try. Digestive biscuits are crushed to a coarse crumb, then bound with melted milk chocolate, unsalted butter and golden syrup, while raisins add the fruity chew of a classic pudding. The Thermomix melts the chocolate, butter and coconut oil gently and evenly, so you never risk a seized or grainy coating. Children adore rolling the mixture into balls and pressing on edible cake decorations, making this a fun holiday kitchen activity. Make a double batch for Christmas trays, gift boxes or party tables — the balls keep well in the fridge and taste even better after a day.
Preparation tips
- Crush the digestive biscuits in two short pulses so you keep a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks; this contrast gives the tiffin balls their satisfying bite rather than a pasty texture.
- Chill the rolled balls thoroughly before dipping, and press the edible cake decorations on immediately after coating with the melted chocolate and coconut oil so they stick firmly as it sets.
- Store the finished tiffin balls in an airtight box in the fridge between layers of baking paper; they also freeze beautifully for up to a month, ready for unexpected Christmas guests.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free grown-up version: soak the raisins in strong black tea or fresh orange juice instead of alcohol, and add a pinch of cinnamon and grated orange zest for that classic Christmas pudding flavour.
- Festive snow version: coat half the batch in melted white chocolate mixed with coconut oil, then roll the balls in desiccated coconut for a snowy look that children and guests adore.
