I don't know what it is about me lately, but I am all about the sweet treats! It must be the cold weather or something but every time I head to the kitchen all I want to make is dessert. There is nothing wrong with this of course, however my hips are starting to scream out for a drawstring waist!
1 cup milk- hot
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cold water
¼ cup castor sugar
50g dark or milk cooking chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon butter
Puddings:
1 ½ cups plain flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup castor sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
100g dark cooking chocolate, chopped
1 cup milk
1/3 cup melted butter
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
Method
Chocolate sauce:
Heat milk over medium heat until hot but NOT boiling.
In a small bowl combine cornflour, cocoa powder and cold water, stir to remove lumps.
When milk is hot add chocolate mixture, sugar and chopped chocolate.
Stir to combine, bring back to a medium heat and continue stirring until the sauce begins to boil.
Remove and stir in butter, once melted and sauce has a gloss pour over puddings.
Puddings:
Preheat oven to 180°C, spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and leave to one side.
Sift first four dry ingredients into a medium bowl and throw in chopped chocolate.
In another bowl mix together all the wet ingredients and whisk with a fork to combine.
Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir until you have a thick batter.
Pour into individual moulds.
Place muffin tin on an oven tray and pour 1/2 cup of water onto the tray for extra moisture.
Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, tip out puddings, place in individual bowls, pour over chocolate sauce and pop a dollop of pistachio gelato on top- serve warm.
Notes
I like to make these individually so I can freeze the ones I am not eating and pull them out when needed, pop them in the microwave to heat up and eat them with choc sauce (if I have any left) or with what ever else is around the kitchen.
The other great aspect of this recipe is there is no cream to make you feel guilty!
