I think it would be incredibly, maybe even hysterically, funny for a
kid to make 'Spotted Dick' which is a fruit filled desert usually
covered with custard. 

Here is a recipe that shows that it is merely a cake-like desert
filled with (spots) fruit like raisins.

Here are three recipes from the website Goddlefrood suggested -

Keep in mind that you can also get 'Heinz Spotted Dick' in a can, and
it is available in the USA through various on-line retailers of
British Foods.

Here is a link to a video -

I would try this once a home, before you inflict it on your son's
fellow classmates.

Have fun!
