Chocolate Pudding Best Ever Recipe (so easy)!! ... Perfect for cold Winter's day !!

:hello: Hello all,



I had a mad craving for a simple, yummy homemade chocolate pudding last night ... And found this one on a website ... It's soooo nice & yummo ... AND soooo EASY to make (no fuss recipe) !!!!! :dance:

I found it's not as sickly sweet as some of the well-known brand pkt brands purchased in the supermarket. And it rose a little higher too than the pkt type :D

Was just enough sauce without being too much BUT you probably could make more sauce if you wanted to :rolleyes:

... The leftovers were even nice the next day (today) heated in the microwave ;)




*** CHOCOLATE PUDDING ***


preparation time 15mins

cooking time 40 -45mins

preheat oven to 180c



INGREDIENTS (serves 6)


Melted butter, to grease dish

1cup SR flour

1/2 cup caster sugar

2Tbs cocoa powder

1/2cup milk

50g butter, melted

1 egg, lightly beaten

... and cream, custard or icecream to serve with




** Chocolate Sauce **


3/4cup, (firmly packed) brown sugar

2Tbs cocoa powder

1 & 1/2 cups boiling water


METHOD ...

Brush a 1.5L (6 cup) capacity ovenproof dish with the melted butter to lightly grease.
Combine flour, caster sugar & cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
Make a well in the centre.
Combine milk, butter & egg in another bowl or jug.
Gradually pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture & stir until well combined.
Pour into the prepared greased dish & use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.

To make the Chocolate Sauce sift the brown sugar & cocoa powder in a bowl.
Sprinkle over the pudding mixture in the dish.
Gently pour the boiling water over the cocoa mixture.

Bake in oven 40 - 45mins or until cake-like top forms & a skewer inserted halfway into the centre comes out clean.

Set aside for 5mins to cool slightly.


TIPS : I used ordinary margarine instead of butter. I greased the dish with margarine that wasn't melted. I got a bit impatient & didn't sift all of the brown sugar & the sauce still came out great. My oven isn't a hot oven & it only took 40mins to cook. I didn't wait 5mins for it to cool as I like my pudding hot.


:cheer: ENJOY :cheer:

um YUMMY... Thanks for sharing

Sounds super yum! I am sure I will make this (mainly for myself ;) since at the moment I'm just wanting so much junk food).

Will have to try that one. Sounds yummy

Ohh yummy - I love that you don't need to add actual chocolate to the recipie, because I have always eaten any chocolate in the house first!

That looks like the one I make- almost identical recipe to the one from the central cookery book!

It's sooo delish. :D

... I found it on an absolutely fantastic Website I came across recently Recipes & cooking tips - chicken, vegetarian, pasta, healthy & more Australian recipes - Taste.com.au :dance: People leave ratings on what they thought of the actual recipe turning out (Great Idea) !!

I love this Chocolate Pudding recipe because it's nice & light ... not heavy & not too sweet like some puddings ... only trap is it's so nice you wanna go back for seconds ;)
