Christmas food (Main Star term 4)

My favourite Christmas Food is "Chocolate Chip Pudding"..

Mum helped me to make it today, the ingredients we needed were:

Chocolate chip cookies
Raspberry fizzy
Cream
Kiwi fruit
Chocolate hail

We had to mix the cream and a little bit of icing sugar with the mixer to get the cram thick.
We then put the cookies in the fizzy to soak
Then we made a layer of cookies in a bowl and then a layer of cream on top, we did this twice.
Then put the kiwi fruit and chocolate hail on the top.
Now it is in the fridge ready to eat for pudding tonight... YUM!!
