What is Self Saucing Pudding?

In fact, it’s a baked dessert that has a gooey center, hence the name self-saucing. Also known as a molten lava pudding.

In the recipe, the chocolate sauce gets poured on the top, but miraculously ends up on the bottom. As a result, the key is self-raising flour. Therefore in the baking process, the flour rises to the top and the heavier sauce falls to the bottom. 

You can store them up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Please note that the sauce or lava texture in the center will reduce if you reheat.

In addition, you can also try our other Natural Flavoured Cocoa Powders! in our range, giving them a delightful twist of flavour.
