Palm Tree pud

Although this base is in a 'tub' it may also be served in a pudding bowl.  The trick is to make a thick base  [say custard] the day before and set in the fridge. Very easy on the eye.  A load of fun to eat.

  • Sour or fruit strap.
  • Brown M & Ms

  2. Place a little of the Marie biscuits on the top of the yoghurt or pudding. [You have just created the sand]
  3. At this point either 
    1. Melt the chocolate button 
    2. or make the icing mix.
  4. Along the length of the fruit strap or sour strap. Then make these into 8 cm [3 in] lengths.
  5. Turn the end upside down and place of the joined.
  6. Join these pieces together with the Melted chocolate or icing sugar.
  7. Onto one of the ends of the Chocolate Coated finger take a dab of icing sugar or chocolate mix.
  8. Place two brown M & Ms near what will be the top end of the tree.
  9. Now place both the stick and the 'palm leaves' together.  
  10. Wait for the chocolate or icing mix to set.
  11. Carefully turn the tree up the other way.
  12. Place the base of the tree in through the 'sand'.
