Sticky
Toffee Chocolate Pudding
A quick recipe I learnt from a friend came handy when my
best friend from Delhi visited me last Sunday. On the short notice, I found my freeze
stuffed with the ingredients of this recipe. And I loved her compliments like
anything.
What you need is:
Dates 100gms finely chopped
Egg 1 in number
Refined flour 100gm
Refined sugar 100gm
Butter 50gm
1tsf baking powder
For sauce
Roughly chopped extra dark chocolate
100gms thick cream
Refined sugar 20gms
In a bowl, take roughly 50ml of boiling water and soak
dates for two minutes. Drain the water (but save it). In a food processor,
crush the dates; add egg, butter, sugar and flour. Add baking powder. Add the
water (from dates) to make the consistency thick enough to flow.
In an oven bake it in ceramic bowl at 180C for 20min.
In a double boiler, melt chocolate, add cream and sugar.
Mix well.
Take the bowl out of oven. Spread the sauce over the pastry.
Bake it again for two minutes. Serve it hot.
