It’s true that you can have a gluten free pudding, and a chocolate self saucing one at that! Oh yes, we are going next level today you guys! Self saucing chocolate pudding is actually one of my Dad’s favourite desserts and therefore one of mine too! It’s rich, gooey and luxurious! Like you’re in a fluffy, chocolatey cloud of deliciousness, yum?!
You will LOVE digging into this and having all of that velvety warm sauce drizzle out…. isn’t that the epitome of a dessert?! I suggest serving this fresh fresh cream straight from the carton, or you can whip it up and have it lovely and thick. Custard also works a treat with this chocolate pudding. Sprinkle a little or generous (let’s be honest, it’s a generous amount) of icing sugar! Or cacao! Oh the options are endless.
This is my first pudding I’m posting for you guys and I’m unsure as to why it has taken me this long! Goodness golly gosh! Well fear no longer, it is here, I’m sure you weren’t too worried. This chocolate pudding is perfect it you’re having dinner guests over because it makes the ideal amount for group to share, or a family of 3-5, depending on your desired amount of pudding you want to consume, I hope it’s large!
There is currently still a quarter of my chocolate pudding still in my refrigerator and I think I’ll have to drag myself off of my bed, turn on the oven and heat some up, whilst you get into that kitchen of yours to bake yourself one and we can enjoy it together!

Hi,can I make this in individual ramekins? How should I adjust the baking time?
Samantha says
Hi Gilli, of course you can! Reduce the baking time down to 30-40 minutes, check it at 30 minutes just to make sure. Continue to bake them further if needed, until the tops set and slightly crack. Hope this helps! Enjoy the pudding! Have a wonderful festive season Gilli! x
Gilli says
Thanks! Will try and let you know
Laura says
Is it ok if I make this, let it cool, and then reheat it in the oven later in the day for Thanksgiving dessert? Will it hold up to that?
Samantha says
Hi Laura, yes definitely! I do the same when I make this pudding. After you have baked it, let it cool then cover it with foil. When you're ready, heat it in the oven with the foil on, this will help it heat through evenly and not brown it too much on top. Hope this helps! Enjoy your Thanksgiving! xx
Laura says
Thank you! I'm about to make it now this morning 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
