A brilliantly easy pudding that looks as good as if it had been oven-baked.
This microwave chocolate pudding is so easy to make and uses a lot of ingredients that you probably have around the house anyway. Don't be fooled into thinking that because it's microwaved, it won't be as good - it's really tasty! This recipe serves four people, each with an individual pudding of their own. In fact it's so speedy that if you have the ingredients to hand, you can whip it up after your main course as a last-minute pud. Serve the pudding straight away so they're still warm. You can turn them out and simply dust them with icing sugar, or keep them in the ramekin pots and serve with some fresh cream.
Ingredients
- 125g (4½ oz) butter
