Chocolate Coffee Pudding

Are you craving for something chocolate-y? Then try this  moist delicious pudding which is soft and gooey. An absolute delight for chocolate and coffee lovers. It is also called Self Saucing Pudding because this pudding makes its own sauce while baking !

 I am a Chocoholic and this pudding is absolute bliss. One of my other favorite is the Molten Lava Cake.

INGREDIENTS
Recipe adapted from here

Flour - 190 g

Granulated Sugar - 180 g

Baking Powder - 3 tsp

Cocoa Powder - 3 tbsp

Coffee Powder - 3 tbsp 

Melted Butter - 130 g

Eggs - 3

Vanilla Essence- 2 tsp

Milk - 375 ml

For the topping: ( I suggest you reduce the quantity to half as this is enough to top 18 ramekins)

Brown Sugar - 280g

Cocoa Powder - 3 tbsp

Boiling water - 300ml

METHOD

Preheat oven at 180 degree.

Mix the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cocoa. coffee and baking powder.

Add the wet ingredients - butter, eggs, vanilla essence and milk.

Mix until well combined.

Grease ramekins and pour the batter till half.

Mix the brown sugar and cocoa. Sprinkle on top of each filled ramekins.

Pour boiling water until the powdered mass is fully covered in water. Do not mix.

Bake for 20 mins or until a good crust is formed.

Have it just like that or with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

Do not over bake else it will not be gooey inside.

You can use 6 tbsp melted dark chocolate instead of 3 tbsp cocoa.
Dust on top with powdered sugar/ cocoa powder.
