This is a recipe from my friend Liv for the easiest, yummiest chocolate pudding. I might even call it her signature dish. It’s hot and goey and chocolatey. What more could a girl ask for?… but some ice cream on the side. Easy enough to whip up while your main course is cooking and impressive enough for friends, family or guests.
Hot Chocolate Pudding
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup self-raising flour (see note below)
1 tbsp cocoa
Topping:
½ cup sugar
1 tbsp cocoa
1 ¾ cups boiling water
1. Preheat the oven the 180ºC.
2. Melt the butter. Add the milk and egg and stir well.
3. Add the dry ingredients and mix well!
4. For the topping mix the sugar and cocoa and sprinkle evenly over the pudding mixture.
5. Carefully pour the boiling water over the pudding.
Pop in the oven and bake for 35-40 mins.
Serve with ice cream.
