Ingredients

  • 100 g milk chocolate
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 65 g butter roughly chopped
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup single cream pouring
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbsp. plain / all purpose flour sifted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 4 tbsp. almond butter
  • 4 tbsp. thick caramel spread I used Bonne Maman

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 200C/390F.
  • Snap chocolate into squares and combine with butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on full power in 20 second bursts, stirring well after each burst until melted and smooth.
  • Add brown sugar and mix well to combine. Add flour and mix well.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Divide batter between 4 x 11/4 cup capacity oven proof dishes/ramekins and refrigerate uncovered for about 2 hours (this helps create the slight crust on top and stops the caramel mixture sinking straight to the bottom).
  • Combine caramel and almond butter and divide into quarters. Roughly shape each quarter into a ball/blob with 2 spoons and sit one on top of each pudding, pushing down slightly until they are about half submerged.
  • Bake in oven for 20 minutes. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then serve.

Notes

Leaving these puddings to sit for 5 minutes after coming out of the oven is important - the lava part of the pudding is especially hot - even after sitting for 5 mins.
You could use just one flavour of chocolate if you prefer, all dark or all milk. I like the combination of both for the flavours in this recipe so that's why I went half/half.
