Ingredients

1/2 cup plain flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted

3/4 cup brown sugar

60 g butter, melted

1/2 cup milk

2 x 52 g Cherry Ripe chocolate bars, chopped

2 tsp cornflour

3/4 cup boiling water

1 tbsp cherry syrup

Double cream, to serve

Extra Cherry Ripe chocolate bars, to serve

Instructions

  1. Sift the flour, baking powder, and 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder into a large bowl.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, then add the melted butter and milk. Mix until smooth.
  3. Fold in the chopped Cherry Ripe pieces.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among four microwave-safe cups (about 1¼ cup capacity each).
  5. In a separate heatproof jug, whisk together the cornflour, remaining cocoa powder, remaining sugar, boiling water, and cherry syrup until smooth.
  6. Gently pour the sauce mixture over the batter in each cup.
  7. Place the cups on the microwave turntable and cook on MEDIUM-HIGH (about 75%) for 5 minutes, or until the tops are just firm.
  8. Let stand for 1 minute before serving.
  9. Top each pudding with double cream and sprinkle with extra chopped Cherry Ripe pieces.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best molten texture.

Add dark chocolate chunks or a teaspoon of coffee for a deeper chocolate flavor.

If Cherry Ripe isn’t available, use Bounty or another chocolate-coconut bar.

Raspberry syrup can be used instead of cherry syrup for a fruitier twist.

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated for 30 seconds before serving.
