Ingredients:

CHOCOLATE PUDDING

• ½ Cup Brown Sugar
• 4 Tbsp Cocoa
• 100g Butter

Method for Chocolate Pudding:

1. Preheat the oven to 180⁰C. Grease an ovenproof dish that will hold about 6 cups.
2. Combine the brown sugar, cocoa and cornflour for the sauce.
3. Cream the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla together. Sift the dry ingredients together and fold into the creamed mixture.
4. Scoop the mixture into the dish and sprinkle with the dry sauce mixture, then carefully pour over the boiling water – hold a spoon upside down over the pudding and pour the water over it to stop splashing.
5. Bake for 35 minutes or until the pudding springs back when lightly touched.

2. Add the remaining milk and heat gently, stirring constantly until the custard boils and thickens.
