Thanks for this recipe, Cookie
It was the perfect use for the 2 Aldi fruitcakes I had in the cupboard (my husband bought them on sale--kids took one look and said, no way!) I imagine that which fruit cake you use has an effect of how firm the mix becomes, my mix was quite still quite sticky after a day in a fridge, so I ended up dipping in chocolate. Because I later put the white choc "custard" on, it didn't matter if the choc coating was a bit messy, so it was quite quick to do and certainly made the puddings seem very indulgent. I meant to take a picture but the last day of school was just a blur so didn't get around to it. I used cognac which gave a very yummy adult taste to the puddings. I gave them as gifts to my colleagues who were very appreciative!
Thanks again!
