On a cold winter’s night, nothing beats a self-saucing pudding – especially if it’s one that requires very little effort to make. By delegating dessert to the slow cooker, you can pour your heart into the main course and reward yourself with a steaming bowl of slow cooked self saucing pudding at the end.
This recipe uses dark chocolate, sliced tinned pears and a swig of Scotch whisky (but if you’re cooking for the kids you can swap this for the same quantity of boiling water).
Once you’ve mastered this recipe, try your hand at making an easy apple and caramel self-saucing pudding, a 5-minute pina colada self-saucing pudding or a classic lemon self-saucing pudding with golden syrup cream.
1.
Put milk, egg and butter in a large bowl and beat using a whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract and sugar.
