in Old style MoneySaving
can anyone point me in the direction of a chocolate pud that is baked in a pudding bowl, so its the same shape as a christmas pud, but it has a melting chocolate saucey thing inside? I have seen one in the supermarket but I am sure I can make one myself for a lot less (and it will probably go further than a shop bought one) I want to make one as an alternative to christmas pud.
:hello: :wave: please play nicely children !

    sorry, should have said that I wanted a recipe for the pud, not the pud itself if you see what I mean!

    I think they're called Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes. I've never made one before (they look gorgeous though), but a google search brings quite a few recipes up.

    Good luck!

    These are similar to what you're after (gooey middle) but are done in ramekins... Seriously scrummy though and easy to do

    thanks all, just couldn't think of what it might be called, so couldn't even google it!

    Will have a serious look now, because I will have to make one before the day, just to try it out like ...:j

    Exceptionally easy to make. OP let me know if you want the recipe and I'll copy it out.

    I always use Gordon Ramseys recipe which i printed from the channel 4 web site. I'm just dribbling at the though of it.

    Green & Blacks cookbook has a very nice version of this too (but I can't imagine any version of it not being nice ;) )
