Homemade Chocolate pudding recipe?

[Katymac]

I note with interest this being mentioned on another thread

Does anyone have a recipe which doesn't use raw egg white??

Or anything mousse-y or pudding-y

TIA KMc

I can get you a delicious norwegian one that is powder in a little carton you mix with milk, and bring to the boil, wait for it to set, and with vanilla custard sauce is heavenly!

But I would love to know how to make it for real.

Sounds lovely

I am looking for something non-processed (ideally) but I am struggling

bump

1 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp. cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp. applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1-3/4 cups hot water

Directions:
Mix the first eight ingredients together. Pour into a sprayed 8-inch baking pan. Mix the brown sugar and 1/4 c cocoa. Sprinkle over the batter. Pour the hot water over the entire top surface. Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes. The topping sinks through the cake to form a pudding layer at the bottom.
I make this quite often and it always goes down well. Nice and easy too, and no fat! I usually serve it chilled so that it is less runny but it also is lovely warm with cold dairy free custard/cream/soy icecream ect...
Try it

Shrooms - that is a very unusual pudding

Is it like a custard?

I am going to have to try it....

You know the choc pudding on the M&S ad? the one that steams gently and then oozes chocolate sauce? DH said "I wouldn't know whether to eat that or stick my cock in it"

lolol

sorry

lol mamaG your DH sounds like mine

Nigella and Nigel do Shrooms recipe. It's absolutely delicious. A sponge pudding, with the chocolate sauce on the bottom. You can do it as sticky toffee, or lemon too.

150g SR Flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
200g light sof brown sugar
100g roughly chopped fine, dark chocolate
200ml milk
a large know of butter melted
a beaten egg

Mix above ingredients well just enough to combine. Pour into a buttered pudding basin.

Mix
75g dark soft brown sugar
75g golden caster sugar
100g cocoa powder and scatter it on top of pudding.

Pour 400ml of almost boiling water and put pudding in a roasting tin of hot water and bake for 35-40mins at 180C Gas 4

These are lovely but I guess I should have been more specific

I'm after an alternative to angel delight or mousse

That's interesting shrooms, I have a recipe that's almost the same as yours except:

1. It doesn't have applesauce or vanilla.

2. It has milk instead of the first water
   and also has 4tbsp melted butter (which you add to the dry ingredients with the milk). The last 1/4 cup cocoa is 2tbsp cocoa.

3. All the quantities are doubled (though it does say you can halve it)

4. To cook you put all into huge 3 litre casserole dish and microwave on high for 10-15 mins.

I think I like the sound of yours better, but mine's easier to cook. I feel some experimenting is required.

The one I use is delicious and really sticky and dark. You don't taste the apple. And vegan too!

170 g semisweet chocolate chips
30 ml water
448 g firm tofu, drained
60 ml soy or skim milk
15 ml vanilla extract

Melt the chocolate with water in a heavy saucepan or double boiler.
In an food processor, combine tofu with the melted chocolate, milk, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is smooth. Chill for approximately one hour, and serve!

Okay I see what you mean - this one should fit the bill. I added about 1 tbs of icing sugar to this recipe.

That might work, what's Tofu [dim]?

Tofu is also called soybean curd It is high in protein and calcium and is very bland tasting so is used with other flavours rather than by itself. It is sold in firm white blocks of about a pound. That will do for this recipe not the very specific 448g!
I quite often buy cauldron organic which you'll find in sainsbury's chilled section next to the ready meals bit.

Thanks

Mine's delicious too (nice hot and cold next day), but yours sounds much healthier - I shall try it.

Goodo! Hope you like it

A bit long, and looks faffy but it isn't and it is almost better than sex!

Delia's chocolate bread and butter pudding!

Serves 6

Ingredients
9 slices, each ¼ inch (5 mm) thick, good-quality white bread, 1 day old, taken from a large loaf

5 oz (150 g) dark chocolate (75 per cent cocoa solids)

3 oz (75 g) butter

15 fl oz (425 ml) whipping cream

4 tablespoons dark rum

4 oz (110 g) caster sugar

good pinch cinnamon

3 large eggs

To serve:

double cream, well chilled

You will also need a shallow ovenproof dish 7 x 9 inches (18 x 23 cm) base x 2 inches (5 cm) deep, lightly buttered.

Begin by removing the crusts from the slices of bread, which should leave you with 9 pieces about 4 inches (10 cm) square. So now cut each slice into 4 triangles. Next, place the chocolate, whipping cream, rum, sugar, butter and cinnamon in a bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, being careful not to let the bowl touch the water, then wait until the butter and chocolate have melted and the sugar has completely dissolved. Next, remove the bowl from the heat and give it a really good stir to amalgamate all the ingredients.

Now in a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then pour the chocolate mixture over them and whisk again very thoroughly to blend them together.

Then spoon about a ½ inch (1 cm) layer of the chocolate mixture into the base of the dish and arrange half the bread triangles over the chocolate in overlapping rows. Now, pour half the remaining chocolate mixture all over the bread as evenly as possible, then arrange the rest of the triangles over that, finishing off with a layer of chocolate. Use a fork to press the bread gently down so that it gets covered very evenly with the liquid as it cools.

Cover the dish with clingfilm and allow to stand at room temperature for 2 hours before transferring it to the fridge for a minimum of 24 (but preferably 48) hours before cooking. When you're ready to cook the pudding, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C). Remove the clingfilm and bake in the oven on a high shelf for 30-35 minutes, by which time the top will be crunchy and the inside soft and squidgy. Leave it to stand for 10 minutes before serving with well-chilled double cream poured over.

Those molten chocolate puddings that Nigella does (Domestic Goddess, I think?) are yum, and especially yum if you serve them with home-made banana ice cream (essentially bananas and cream, frozen). Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Let me know if you need me to post the recipe.

These are nice but don't really replace a packet easily (though I will have a go at both for the family)

It's really for work - but Angel Delight is junk food imo - but it is nice - but it does need to be easy

I guess I may have to give up on choc pudding

the good thing with thedelia is that you can do it the day before (if you know and have the time that is!)
