Slow Cooker Double Chocolate Speculoos Puddle Pudding

JUMP TO RECIPE
Slow Cooker Double Chocolate Speculoos Puddle Pudding

Well, there’s a name that trips off the tongue easily!

I could also have mentioned that this pudding is eggless, but I think that would have been a step too far!

I used dark and white chocolate but if you wanted to make this pudding suitable for a vegan then you could just use dark chocolate.

For those of you not familiar with the term Speculoos it’s the name used on the continent for Lotus Biscuit Spread. You know, those biscuits that every hairdresser in the land served with a Rombouts coffee in the 70s as your mum sat under the drier!

This pudding might not be a looker but she makes up for it in taste!
Heathy fat, oil

Anyway, I digress, the lovely people at Flora got in touch recently and asked if I’d like to develop a recipe using Flora Cuisine. I must admit that I hadn’t actually got around to trying this product but Flora Buttery can always be found in my fridge alongside the butter! I thought of playing it safe and making a cake or muffins that would ordinarily use butter or oil as this is where Flora Cuisine can be substituted but then I had a better idea! For a long time now I’ve heard from my fellow food bloggers about all the fabulous different things you can cook in a slow cooker, puddings being one of them. So after a scan of the ingredients in my cupboard and a bit of research, I concocted this Slow Cooker Double Chocolate Speculoos Puddle Pudding which I’m very pleased to say worked a treat. The result was a very rich, sumptuous gooey pudding that was slightly more waxy in texture than a puddle pudding that uses eggs but the wolves, sorry family devoured it (with a generous splash of double cream) in no time! A repeat performance was immediately requested! Being such a rich pudding it’s one for occasional use only, so they’ll just have to wait on that one!

Double cream was just a must and contrasted perfectly with the rich chocolate in my Slow Cooker Double Chocolate Speculoos Puddle Pudding!

The great thing about Slow Cooker Double Chocolate Speculoos Puddle Pudding is you can make it way before your main course and forget about it until it’s ready to serve.

I hate having to juggle at meal times so this pudding is ideal. I used the Flora Cuisine, which looks like a cross between softened butter and mayonnaise to grease my slow cooker as well as, as a substitute for oil in my pudding.

Unlike oil, you keep it in the fridge and I like that it is so versatile.

It’s made from a blend of linseed, sunflower, and rapeseed oils and is lower in saturated fat than olive oil and higher in Omega 3 which makes it a healthy choice (if you’re not making my pudding of course)!

    I’ve never made pudding in a slow cooker before, mainly just pork and stew. It seems to be all the rage at the moment.

      I’m sure you could, it just wouldn’t have he same intensity of flavour as white chocolate is more creamy tasting.

    A chocoholics dream! The only thing that’s holding me back is that I need to get hold of some vanilla paste and the lotus biscuit spread. If I can find/remember to get those next time I go shopping, then I will definitely try this x

    That sounds like a rich and delicious pudding. I like the sound of the speculoos in it. Do you think, it would work well with using just the biscuits instead of the spread?

      I really wouldn’t know Chris but think it could be a bit grainy, who knows it might work?
