Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding

8 September 2022
Sometimes being able to offer a dessert can add a little extra care for a family. This is a very easy and tasty dessert that we make often – great to increase the quantity if needed to make sure there’s enough for seconds 😉 For our family, we do make more of the sauce by adding more boiling water and increasing the cocoa powder and sugar slightly. This will probably not freeze well, so making it and delivering it the same day is best.
*To make Gluten-free, you can easily sub a gluten-free flour in, and just increase the milk by 1/2 a cup.
*To make Dairy-free, sub a dairy-free milk and a spread like Olivani or Nuttelex.
