It’s very easy to make - watch and learn!
Start by combining the flour, cocoa and sugar in your pudding bowl – mix them in the bowl you’re going to cook your pudding in so make sure it’s microwave safe. I like to use a glass dish.
In a smaller separate bowl melt your butter and chocolate together – melt for 30 seconds on high then stir, give it a bit longer as needed until melted and smooth.
Stir the melted chocolate mixture and the milk into the dry ingredients.
Once combined, smooth the top of the mixture to get ready for the magic self saucing ingredients.
Combine the brown sugar and extra cocoa and sprinkle over the top of the pudding mixture.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top.
A pro tip I learned many, many years ago at a microwave cooking class: whenever cooking cakes in the microwave, stand them on top of an upside down dinner plate.
I can’t remember what this elevation is supposed to do, but I always do this and my family loves this dessert so it seems to turn out well this way!
Cook for 6 minutes on high.
It should come out looking something like this:
Granted, it’s not the prettiest looking dessert ever! But, dish it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and its looks won’t matter to you at all!
