Pear and chocolate self-saucing pudding
SERVES 6
For a no-fuss sweet, this fruity chocolate dessert does the job. Pour the sauce before baking and let the pud do the work, magic!
HOW TO DO IT
1 Heat the oven to 180C Fan/Gas 6. In a large bowl mix together the butter and sugar until fully combined and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the eggs, beating well between each addition. Add the almond extract then sift over the flour, almonds and cocoa powder. Beat until just incorporated. Stir through the chopped pears then pour the batter into the prepared dish.
2 Whisk the sauce ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps and pour over the batter.
3 Bake in the centre of the oven for 45 mins until a crust forms on the top and there is a slight wobble. Scatter the roasted almonds on top and serve warm with cream or ice cream.
TIP IF YOU DON’T HAVE GROUND ALMONDS USE 75G EXTRA OF PLAIN FLOUR INSTEAD, OR WHIZZ PISTACHIOS OR HAZELNUTS.
