Chocolate self-saucing pudding

Chocolate self-saucing pudding is a classic dessert that delivers a comforting and indulgent chocolate experience. This recipe combines the richness of dark chocolate with a light, airy pudding that creates its own luscious sauce. Perfect for any chocolate lover, it's a crowd-pleaser that's surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized ovenproof dish or pudding dish.
2. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and 1/2 cup of the brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar starts to dissolve.
- Add the egg and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring a smooth mixture.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the self-raising flour into the bowl. Gently fold the flour into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
- Fold in the chopped dark chocolate pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
4. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Pour the batter into the prepared ovenproof dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. Create Sauce Layer:
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
- Pour 1 1/4 cups (300ml) of boiling water over the entire mixture. Do not stir; the water will create a delicious sauce as the pudding bakes.
6. Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is set and a skewer inserted into the cake part comes out clean. The pudding should be gooey and saucy underneath.
7. Serve:
Let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls, ensuring each serving has plenty of the rich chocolate sauce from the bottom.
8. Optional:
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is melted but not hot when mixing with other ingredients to avoid cooking the egg.

- Sift the self-raising flour to keep the pudding light and airy.

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the most intense chocolate flavor.

- Check the pudding's doneness by ensuring the cake part is firm, but remember the bottom should be saucy.

- Serve immediately for the best experience, as the sauce thickens as it cools.

Now that your chocolate self-saucing pudding is ready, all that's left to do is dig in and enjoy the delectable blend of cake and sauce. Whether served on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this dessert is sure to impress at any gathering.
