The Ingredients

The ingredients for an easy chocolate self saucing pudding are fairly basic and should be found in your pantry with the exception of the dark chocolate. If you don’t have any dark chocolate just omit it and use 45 grams of butter instead of 25 grams.

Use a good quality Dutch cocoa as this is the basis of the flavour of the pudding.

Make sure to be gentle when you pour the boiling water over the pudding mix so it doesn’t just pour in one spot and make a big hole in the pudding mix. Gentle pour over the back of a spoon and move over the whole pudding.

Serving this divine pudding

You must serve this pudding straight from the oven! Sprinkle the top with icing sugar (powdered sugar).

Dollop cream or ice cream is the perfect accompaniment. Personally I love to serve it with canned reduced fat cream. Don’t judge until you try it its so delicous😂
