Baked Chocolate Pudding
Baked Chocolate Pudding is a delicious dessert and in my opinion, a good choice for a winter or autumn dessert. I remember this dessert from my childhood and it is quite an easy recipe to follow. And like most things: Chocolate is delicious! This baked chocolate pudding is almost like a cake and as it bakes, it forms its own sauce. Without the sauce it would have turned out to be a bit of a dry dessert because the pudding is almost like a cake in texture. But the sauce makes it absolutely delicious. Together with custard, crème anglaise or with vanilla ice-cream it all comes together to be a lovely baked dessert! You can play here with your creative side, you could make a large square, round or triangle pudding, or simply make individual ones in lovely small soufflé ramekins and serve each one on a lovely under plate too. As a garnish variations of mint would be great to use, a lavender sprig, lemon verbena, pansies, snapdragon, nasturtiums and many more. If you perhaps have not made this baked chocolate pudding in a long time, maybe I can inspire you to make it soon!
