- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions:

Prepare Cocoa Paste: In a bowl, create a smooth paste by combining cocoa powder with a little milk. Ensure the paste is well mixed.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the remaining milk into the cocoa paste, stirring until fully combined.

Whisk Eggs: One at a time, whisk the eggs into the cocoa mixture, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate all the remaining ingredients except for the butter. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Prepare Mould: Grease a pudding mould generously with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared mixture into the greased mould, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
-
Cover and Steam: Cover the pudding mould securely. Place the mould in a larger vessel filled with boiling water, ensuring the water level is at least halfway up the sides of the mould.
-
Steam Pudding: Cover the vessel with a lid and allow the pudding to steam over medium heat. Ensure the water continues to boil steadily throughout the steaming process.
-
Cook Until Set: Steam the pudding for approximately 35 minutes or until it is set and firm to the touch. Check periodically to ensure the water level in the steaming vessel remains consistent.
-
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the pudding mould from the steamer. Allow it to cool slightly before turning it out onto a serving dish.
-
Garnish: Add a festive touch by garnishing the pudding as desired. Sliced kiwi fruits make a delightful and refreshing garnish option.
Enjoy: Serve this delightful Christmas Pudding warm or chilled, and savor every delicious bite of this festive treat with your loved ones. Happy Holidays!
