Sometimes you just really need a pudding on a cold night to make you feel so much better. And in amongst the revision for my first university exam, I managed to find a bit of time to rustle up a Chocolate Brownie Pudding.
This pudding is rich and chocolatey and is just so utterly comforting; it’s everything you want in a pudding. The recipe is easily scalable to serve as a pudding for a family or for friends to share.
I read somewhere that if you beat the brownie mix for a bit after it’s fully mixed, that gives you the wonderful wafer thin crust on top of the brownie and so I’m following that same method here to get a crust on top of the pudding. It’s got a slight crunch to it and that contrasts so well with the fudgy chocolate pudding.
The dish that I used is a 14cm oval ceramic dish from Poundland. It’s been one of my favourite purchases and I’ve used it for so many meals, it’s incredibly versatile. I baked my Homemade Chicken Enchiladas in the dish and you can go read the recipe by clicking on the name.
60g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
50g margarine
60g granulated sugar, you can use soft light brown sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
35g plain flour
Natural yoghurt or crème fraiche, to serve
In a microwaveable bowl, melt the dark chocolate and the margarine in the microwave. You can use the residual heat from the melted margarine to finish melting the chocolate. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Grease a 14cm oval ceramic dish.
Add in the eggs one by one, mixing well between each one. Fold through the plain flour gently until it is just combined and then give it a good mix for about 20 seconds to help form the crust on the pudding.
Pour the brownie pudding batter into the greased dish and bake for around 20 – 22 minutes until the pudding has slightly risen and a crust has formed on the top of the pudding. Serve the pudding immediately and top with some natural yoghurt or crème fraiche.
