Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease four individual pudding ramekins or oven-safe dishes with butter.
In a medium bowl, melt the butter (either in the microwave or over a double boiler). Once melted, add the finely chopped dark chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In another bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps. Add the brown sugar and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until thoroughly mixed.
Gradually add the milk and egg mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the batter, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
Evenly pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the puddings are set around the edges but still slightly gooey in the center. You can test this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pudding; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Allow the puddings to cool slightly before serving. You can serve them warm for a gooey, molten center, or let them cool completely if you prefer a firmer texture. Optionally, dust with a little powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
And there you have it – delicious homemade chocolate pudding! Whether you enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries, this pudding is sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings. Enjoy the smooth, rich taste that only homemade can offer. Happy cooking!
