Chocolate Pudding with a Surprise




Source of Recipe


Original recipe by Jamie Oliver, modified by Josh Olson


Recipe Introduction


A pudding with a lovely surprise in the centre of it when you cut it open. The orange peel is cooked like marmalade and its sharpness goes well with the sweetness of the chocolate.



List of Ingredients




85 g / 3 oz CF margarine
55 g / 2 oz dark (85% Equadorian) chocolate
170 g / 6 oz self-raising GF flour
55 g / 2 oz cocoa powder
170 g / 6 oz caster sugar (superfine or berry sugar)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons CF milk sub (like almond milk)

For the filling:

1 orange -- preferably a thin-skinned navel variety
85 g / 3 oz CF margarine
85 g / 3 oz caster sugar (super fine or berry)


Recipe



First, bring some water to the boil in a pan (in which you are later going to steam your pudding), and put in your whole orange to boil fast for at least 10 minutes with the lid on.

Meanwhile, prepare a 1.3 litre / 2 pint pudding basin. Melt the margarine with the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of hot water. Put the flour and cocoa into a mixing bowl; add the melted chocolate, then the sugar, eggs and milk, and mix well. Put about two-thirds of the mixture into a basin, making a well in the middle.

By this time the orange should have been boiling for about 10 minutes, and the peel should be nice and soft. Remove it carefully from the water. Prick the orange all over with a fork or skewer and place it in the middle of the pudding mix. You can (with care, as it's still hot) cut the orange into segments, if you want to check for pips or cut off the stringy bits of orange in the middle, then put it back together again (it does make it easier for serving), although I don't usually bother.

Dice the the second portion of margarine and dot it round the orange with the sugar, then cover with the remaining pudding mixture. Cover the pudding with parchment paper, then with tin-foil, and place in the pan of boiling water(it should come halfway up the sides of the basin). Steam for 2 hours. Don't forget to check it now and then to see if the water needs topping up.

Turn the pudding out to a serving dish and serve with custard or nut fluff.
