Description

This classic Steamed Chocolate Pudding offers a dense, moist texture and deep cocoa flavor that rivals any baked cake. Made with simple pantry staples like flour, butter, and bitter chocolate, it relies on the gentle heat of steaming to create a tender crumb without drying out. The pudding is best enjoyed warm, topped with a luxurious cream sauce made from butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. It is an elegant yet comforting dessert perfect for holiday gatherings or a special weekend treat. The combination of the earthy chocolate pudding and the sweet, airy sauce creates a balanced and indulgent experience that feels both nostalgic and sophisticated.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat a steamer or large pot with a steaming rack with water to a gentle simmer.
  2. Cream the 3 tablespoons of butter until smooth, then gradually add the sugar and beat until light.
  3. Beat the egg well and add it to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk to the creamed mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Melt the bitter chocolate squares over hot water (bain-marie) and stir into the batter until fully incorporated.
  7. Turn the batter into a buttered mold or heatproof dish.
  8. Cover the mold tightly with foil or a lid to prevent water from dripping in.
  9. Place in the steamer and steam for 2 hours, ensuring the water level remains high.
  10. While the pudding steams, prepare the cream sauce: cream the 1/4 cup butter with the powdered sugar until smooth.
  11. Add the vanilla extract and the heavy cream to the butter mixture.
  12. Beat the sauce until the cream is stiff and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  13. Remove the pudding from the steamer and serve warm, topped generously with the cream sauce.
