Little chocolate puddings

August 28, 2016 9:45 am / 9 Comments / Trudy

Little chocolate puddings

These little puddings are perfect in the steam oven as the mixture ends up making a delicious chocolate custard under the pudding.  We all know that the steam oven is great for delicate things like custard and everyone loves a little surprise in their pudding!

Quick and easy to make if you have all the separate elements ready to go at the last moment.  I would suggest only cooking this in individual dishes that can be filled almost to the top as the mixture will drop a little when removed from the oven.  *If you want to stretch it to 5 puddings then use one cup of milk for the custard.

This is a really old recipe that I cooked when I was a teenager, altered of course for today’s tastes and converted to cook in the steam oven for you all to enjoy 🙂

Ingredients:  Serves 4*

1 heaped tbsp soft butter
½ cup castor sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 very heaped tbsp good quality cocoa.  I used ‘Josephine’s’ but any good brand is OK.
1 heaped tbsp self-raising flour
Pinch salt
2 level tbsp desiccated coconut
¾ cup milk
Grated dark 70% dark chocolate to serve

Method:

  1. Grease 4 x ¾ cup ramekins or small pudding basins well and set aside.
  2. Mix the softened butter into the sugar, set aside.
  3. Separate eggs, place whites into a separate bowl.
  4. Sift cocoa, flour and salt together into a medium size bowl with a pouring lip or jug.  Add coconut and set aside.
  5. Just before you are ready to cook, whip egg whites until soft peaks form.
  6. Fold egg yolks into sugar mixture, mix well.
  7. Slowly fold in milk mixing well.
  8. Stir in flour mixture, gently fold in beaten egg whites and pour into greased dishes.
  9. Place into the solid steamer tray, group together and cover with one piece of baking paper that should be wide enough to be tucked down the sides of the containers.
  10. Steam @ 100°C for 15 minutes.
  11. Uncover, top with grated dark chocolate and serve with pouring cream. Yum!

    When you say 100% steam and I’m using a combination oven what is the temperature setting?

      Hi Bev,
      You need to have a combi that allows you to cook with steam only not radiant oven heat plus steam. So steam only @ 100 degrees. Some brands don’t allow for this, sorry you need to read your manual.

    Hi Trudy
    Hope you and family and friends have a great Xmas.
    I have just made my 1st plum pudding in my slow cooker and had some mixture over so decided to try my steam oven. I followed your tips and put them in a 1/2 cup ramekin, bit fiddle with string,will get rubber bands for next lot. Cooked for 1 hr 10 and didn’t even have to fill the water container.
    My husband and I thought we would share one while they were hot. Have to say they were so moist and absolutely yum.
    Thanks again for all your recipes, it is a wonderful site.
    Jean
