Banana Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding
My friend made this for me around 10 years ago now, and I made sure to grab the recipe from her. It’s still a family favourite, particularly in winter. If you like gooey warm chocolatey puddings (and who doesn’t?!) then this is the dessert for you! So comforting with lashings of chocolate sauce and a delicious banana taste.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 125g butter
- 95g caster sugar
- 2 bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup self raising flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
For the sauce:
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup brown sugar (I used raw)
- 1 1/4 cup boiling water
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 170° fan.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in mashed banana and eggs.
- Fold in flour, salt and cocoa powder.
- Pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish.
- Make the sauce by combining the brown sugar, cocoa powder and boiling water in a jug. Stir to combine til smooth. Pour over the top of the pudding.
- Bake for 40-45 mins.
TIPS
- The absolute smallest size ovenproof bowl you can use is a 1.2 litre or 5 cup capacity (which I used in the video). Go slightly bigger if you can to avoid it spilling over.
- Delicious served alone, or with custard or ice cream.
