Hi my name is Jo Wheatley, some of you may know me as the winner of 2011 Great British Bake off. Since finishing GBBO I have started up a Home bakery school from my house in Essex (the class dates are listed in masterclasses) and I've now written 2 books 'A passion for baking' on general release & 'Home Baking' available exclusively in Sainsburys and where I also write my monthly column for their lovely foodie magazine. I would love to hear from you with any questions you may have and I promise to answer if I can! (for a quicker response Facebook or Twitter me) Love JoX

Rocky Road Pudding

I came up with the idea of this because my lot love Rocky Road and are not that enamoured with Christmas Pudding. You just a mix it all up and bung it in the fridge to set but get it out an hour before serving as otherwise it will be set rock solid.

200g Milk chocolate
50g Dark chocolate
80g Popcorn
20g Rice Krispes
15 Marshmallows (halved)
100g Dried cranberries (apricots or sultanas work too)

To Finish
30g White melted chocolate
3 Glace cherries
2 Holly leaves

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water. Add all of the other ingredients to the melted chocolate making sure it is all well covered.

Spoon in to a 2 pint bowl lined with clingfilm. Once the bowl is full use the cling to push down and cover the top. Chill until firm.

Use the cling to easy out on to a serving  plate. Pour over the white chocolate allowing to run down a little. Add cherries and holly leaves.
