For the sauce

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup brown sugar

To Serve

  • Vanilla Ice-cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Rub a large ovenproof baking dish with extra virgin macadamia nut oil.
  • In a heatproof bowl, place 120g of the chocolate and the butter in the microwave for 1.5 minutes until melted.
  • Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract and caster sugar to the cooled chocolate and mix well.

  • Pour the pudding mix into the oven dish. Scatter with the extra chopped dark chocolate.
  • To make the sauce: combine cocoa, brown sugar and hot water in a bowl. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the sauce over the pudding mix, making sure to stop just under the rim.

  • Dig in while still hot. Serve with ice cream.
