Self-saucing chocolate puddings

Self-saucing chocolate puddings are a delightful dessert that combines a moist chocolate cake with a rich, gooey sauce. Perfect for a cozy night in or an impressive finish to a dinner party, this recipe is easy to make and sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up these decadent puddings in no time.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
30g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 tsp dry cocoa powder
5g
2 tbsp brown sugar
30g
1 egg
50g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat while you prepare the puddings.
2. Prepare the dry ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and dry cocoa powder. This ensures there are no lumps and gives the pudding a nice, even texture.
3. Mix the wet ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the egg. Then, add in the milk and mix until well-combined.
4. Combine the butter and sugar:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the brown sugar until it’s completely dissolved.
5. Incorporate the wet and dry ingredients:
- Slowly add the egg and milk mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth batter.
- Gradually add this batter to the bowl of sifted dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure a light and fluffy pudding.
6. Prepare the baking dishes:
- Lightly grease four small ovenproof ramekins or baking dishes with butter or non-stick spray.
7. Divide the batter:
- Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared ramekins.
8. Bake the puddings:
- Place the filled ramekins on a baking tray and put them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the puddings have risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Rest and serve:
- Remove the puddings from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. The puddings will have a dense, moist center with a slight sauce-like consistency.
- Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips:

- Make sure to use self-raising flour to help the puddings rise properly.

- Sift the dry cocoa powder to avoid any lumps and ensure a smooth batter.

- Use room temperature ingredients to allow for easy mixing and better texture.

- To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract.

- Serve the puddings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Self-saucing chocolate puddings are a quick and easy way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. With a soft, cake-like top and a luscious, rich sauce underneath, this dessert is sure to impress.
