It may be winter, but we think this decadent chocolate pudding paired with our Rutherglen Topaque can be enjoyed any time of the year! Check out the full recipe below:

INGREDIENTS:

• 60g unsalted butter
• ½ cup (125ml) milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup (165g) caster sugar
• 1 cup (150g) self-raising flour, sifted
• 2 tbs cocoa, sifted
• ¾ firmly packed cup (185g) brown sugar
• Icing sugar to dust

METHOD:

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 180c. Grease a 1.5L (6-cup) capacity ovenproof baking dish. Or, if you’d prefer individual servings, place into 8 individual ramekins.

STEP TWO: Slowly melt the butter with the milk in a saucepan over a low heat. Add the vanilla, caster sugar, flour and 1 tbs of cocoa, stirring to combine. Spread mixture into your prepared baking dish or ramekins.

STEP THREE: Combine the brown sugar and remaining 1 tbs cocoa in a bowl with 2 cups (500ml) boiling water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then carefully pour over the pudding batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is firm.

STEP FOUR: Stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

STEP FIVE: Dust the warm pudding with icing sugar and serve with our Rutherglen Topauqe.
