About the bake
If you are fan of Chocolate Orange these are the puds for you. These beautifully light chocolate sponge puddings are encased around 2 segments of Terry's Chocolate Orange and when served straight from the oven, will create a gooey melt in the middle chocolate centre.
These puddings are a a great alternative to the traditional Christmas pudding or a deliciously indulgent finale to a weekend roast with the family.
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C /160°fan / Gas Mark 4 and place a baking tray inside to heat up. Make sure your Terry’s Chocolate Orange has been in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Grease your 6 pudding moulds and line the bottom and lower sides with baking parchment.
Step 3
Mix together the sugar, eggs, orange zest and juice until there are no lumps. Allow the butter to cool slightly and add to the sugar and egg mixture until combined.
Ingredients for this step
- 175gBillington's Unrefined Dark Muscovado Sugar
- 3Free range large eggs
- 1Orange (zest of)
- 1 tbspOrange juice
- 175gUnsalted butter (softened)
Step 4
Sift in the flour and the cocoa and mix gently to make a smooth, soft batter.
Ingredients for this step
- 175gAllinson's Self-Raising White Flour
- 45gCocoa powder
Step 5
Pour the batter into each of the 6 pudding moulds and pop two segments of chocolate orange into the batter, but don’t go all the way to the bottom of the basin.
Ingredients for this step
- 1Terry's chocolate orange (freeze for 4 hours)
Step 6
Top with the remaining batter and smooth the tops so the mixture is level.
Step 7
Place the moulds on the tray in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. When the puddings are done the top should spring back. You may need to cook it for an extra 5 minutes.
Step 8
When the puddings are done, loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a plate.
Step 9
Serve immediately with cream or custard. When sliced the melted chocolate orange will pour out of the pudding.
