Xmas dessert: Chocolate Pudding and Cranberries White Chocolate Slice served with Vanilla Ice Cream and Mango Puree

Ho Ho Ho.....Christmas is coming. I think i should create a dish for this festive season. Last Saturday, I had an early Xmas celebration with my mates and i made this dessert. That was my first time to prepare a proper dessert. Luckily, it came out well especially the slice, it looked gorgeous and tasted well. The chocolate pudding is moist and just nice to go with the slice. The most dissappointing part was the weather was too hot, the ice cream couldn't come out a total eclipse shaped and was melt very quick. Anyway, my mates enjoyed the dessert, of cos i am so happy with my dessert. That is really my honour to prepare something nice to my friends and seeing them enjoy it, Yeah. Hope you will like it too. You can prepare any individual component from this dessert. I will highly recommend the slice, heheheh.......
