Chocolate Puddle Pudding is an utterly delicious self saucing chocolate pudding. Chocolate sponge floats on a sea of chocolate sauce for the ultimate comfort pudding!
I have had this Chocolate Puddle Pudding recipe from a newspaper clipping for 6 years and only got round to making this wonderful pudding tonight. It had been posted on a notice board at my daughter’s playgroup and when Lulu (who ran the group) saw me starting copy it down, she unpinned it and gave it to me.
It was sent in by a 12 year old called Lucy Burton to The Daily Telegraph and is now going to be a regular in our household. My husband said it was the best chocolate pudding he had ever had!
This is a “magic” self saucing pudding and just needs a dollop of ice cream or cream to compliment it.
First the cocoa, sugar and a little hot water are mixed to a paste before adding the rest of the water.
The pudding ingredients are all put in a bowl and whisked together.
The batter and sauce and then tipped into a dish on a baking tray before baking.
The Chocolate Puddle Pudding is ready when well risen and the middle has set.
If only all puddles were made of chocolate!
