No-Bake Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding
This is my go-to when I want a warm dessert right now without committing to a full batch of anything. It takes five minutes total, from mixing to microwaving, and comes out soft and saucy every single time. It’s perfect for when you're craving something chocolatey after dinner but don’t want to spend 45 minutes making a traditional self-saucing pudding (or do dishes after).
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 4 tablespoon plain flour
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon white sugar caster
- ½ teaspoon of instant coffee powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet ingredients
- 3 tablespoon plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoon boiling water
Topping
- Top with icing sugar
- Serve with vegan vanilla ice cream
- Fresh raspberries
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix the dry pudding ingredients. Add in the milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir to combine into a smooth batter. In a separate small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients (cocoa, sugar, and boiling water). Gently pour the sauce over the back of a spoon onto the pudding batter — don’t stir!Microwave for ~2 minutes. Let it cool for a minute — it will be hot! The top will be saucy, but it will harden so don’t over bake it as you’ll lose moisture.
