Absolutely perfect - I cooked it at work and we had it with cream. All staff it was gorgeous and to die for !! Yum yum
I tried this recipe and was very impressed, it made a nice pudding, I liked the melting chocolate bit in the middle. It was fairly easy to make, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic pudding...already a firm favourite in our house. Tastes delicious with a minimum of effort...scrumptious
Awesomeness! great recipe. Made with Doves Farm gluten free SR flour and came out perfect.
Hi,
I tried the recipe, it's great though I've discovered our microwave is a little uneven!
Thanks for posting it.

This sounds great.
Does the sugar in step 1 only relate to the caster sugar and the sugar in step 5 contain all of the brown sugar then?
I'm looking forward to trying to make this though I don't think I have a suitable dish, am trying to think of alternatives, any suggestions?
Thanks for posting this, I'll let you know how I get on.
I think I must have died and gone to heaven -
this truly is a chocoholics delight
