Ann Creber's - Cheaty-Chocolate Fudge Pots
by Ann Creber
Hello All,
After a nasty experience of my youth involving a pressure cooker, in which I "redecorated" my Mum's kitchen ceiling with beetroot juice. I avoided using one for many years. However, when I was working as Food Consultant for the Geo. Foreman Company it became necessary for me to take a deep breath and reassess my attitude in order to develop recipes for their pressure cooker product!
After a few tentative attempts, I regained confidence and am now a committed and regular user! This is an easy and delicious recipe to tempt you to start if you have been hesitant.
When I developed this recipe we had staying with us a young German chef (a WWOOFER - Willing Worker on Organic Farms) who ate three and pronounced them 'brilliant'!
INGREDIENTS
Makes 6 small rich portions
- 1 x 260g packet of Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 1 local free range egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 60g melted butter
- 1/3 packet of chocolate chips which come with the pudding mix
METHOD
- Place pudding mix, egg, milk and melted butter into a bowl and mix until well blended. Lightly fold in 1/3 choc. chips from packet.
- Butter 6 small china ramekins and spoon in the mixture. Do not fill to the top! Place each ramekin onto a square of foil and twist tops firmly to seal...leave sufficient room for the puddings to rise!
- Arrange the pots in a steam basket and place into the base of the pressure cooker. Pour in sufficient water to barely cover the base of the pots.
- Proceed with cooking instructions for your own unit, reduce heat and cook for 6-8 minutes after pressure is reached.
- Carefully remove pots from unit, unwrap and serve at once with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
P.S Discreetly dispose of the packet and just sit back and wait for the compliments!
