Christmas pudding snowman

Method

1. Trim the smaller pudding to round off any sharp edges
2. Sift a little icing sugar over a clean surface and knead the icing until smooth
3. Cut a third off and roll out to a 1cm thickness, then drape over the small pudding
4. Tuck the icing underneath to enclose it, then trim, reserving the excess
5. Repeat with the second pudding and place on a cake board or plate
6. Push a cocktail stick into the top of the large pudding and position the smaller one on top, to make a snowman shape
7. Set aside to set for 30 mins
8. Meanwhile, colour a little of the excess icing orange and roll into a carrot shape. Set aside to set
9. To decorate, press the icing carrot into the snowman’s head to make a nose and use a cocktail stick or small brush dipped in black food colouring to draw eyes, a mouth and buttons
10. Allow to set for 2 hours then, toserve, tie a ribbon round for a scarf.

Get ahead: You can make the snowman up to a week in advance, then store in an airtight container
