    What You Need

    Our Thermomix chocolate self saucing pudding is made using just a handful of budget-friendly basic ingredients.

    The ingredients for chocolate pudding.

    For The Chocolate Pudding

    • Butter - salted or unsalted butter can be used in this recipe
    • Milk - I recommend using full cream (full fat) milk for the best results
    • Vanilla Extract - or vanilla essence
    • Egg - use a large egg, at room temperature
    • Self Raising Flour - this is the rising agent in the recipe
    • Cocoa Powder - use regular unsweetened cocoa powder
    • Caster Sugar - a superfine sugar perfect for baking

    For The Chocolate Sauce

    • Extra Cocoa Powder & Caster Sugar - for sprinkling over the top
    • Boiling Water

    Step By Step Instructions

    It's so easy to make our Thermomix chocolate self saucing pudding.

    Step 1 - Make The Pudding Batter

    Place the butter into the Thermomix bowl and heat until melted.

    Serve immediately.

    Expert Tips

    Follow our top tips for the perfect Thermomix chocolate self saucing pudding!

    • Pour the boiling water over the pudding just before cooking.
    • Use a large spoon (turned over) to pour the boiling water over the pudding so that it doesn't disturb the pudding batter.
    • Once baked, serve immediately (the sauce will start to soak into the pudding once cooled).
    • Do NOT overcook the pudding. The cake layer should be just cooked through and wobbly, while the sauce underneath will be runny.
    • Serve warm with custard, cream or ice-cream.
    • This recipe can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Please note: once cooled, the sauce will soak into the pudding.

    FAQS

    How do I pour the boiling water over the top without disturbing the chocolate pudding batter?

    I like to turn a large spoon over the pour the boiling water over the top of the spoon. This way the boiling water slowly and gently drips onto the pudding batter.

    How can I make sure there's lots of sauce?

    It's important not to overcook the pudding! The cake layer should be cooked through but very wobbly (thanks to the sauce underneath).

    Can this be made ahead of time?

    You can prepare the chocolate pudding batter ahead of time. However, the cocoa powder, caster sugar and boiling water cannot be added until just before cooking. Once baked, serve immediately.

      Sounds very tasty UT one thing I don’t understand.
      Pour over the (450gr) boiling water?
      On top of the mixture that is the prepared dish?
      Or is this au ban Marie style? Not sure what to do with 450 gram boiling water.

        The boiling water is poured over the batter that has the cocoa and sugar from the sauce ingredients sprinkled over it. The water mixes with them and forms the sauce while it bakes 🙂

      Quick & tasty. I reduced the amount of water and increased the cook time but regretted that slightly as wanted more sauce. Replaced 1/2 the caster sugar with chocolate. Also used an orange flavoured drinking chocolate instead of cocoa (needed to reduce caster sugar again). Will make again.

      Can this be doubled and put into individual ramikins?

        Hi Shereen, I'm not sure if you can double this recipe as it may exceed the 'max line' of your Thermomix bowl. You certainly could make it in individual ramekins, the cooking time will be much shorter though x

      Is it meant to be so doughy before going in the pan and adding the hot water... or am I in fact just not meant to bake haha!

      The sauce was very watery and there was no mention of how much “extra caster sugar” to add.

        Hi Michael, my apologies - I've added in a specific amount for the extra caster sugar now. The sauce is definitely meant to be quite liquidy - if you'd prefer it to be thicker you can decrease the amount of boiling water used (although this will obviously also decrease the amount of sauce). xx
