Method

Chocolate and dulce de leche puddings

1.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease four 1⅓-cup (330ml) ovenproof dishes; place on a baking-paper-lined oven tray.

2.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of the dulce de leche into the base of each dish.

3.

Process caster sugar, butter, sifted flour, ground almonds, 2 tablespoons of the sifted cocoa, milk, eggs and extract until smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl; stir in chocolate. Spoon mixture evenly into dishes.

4.

Combine brown sugar and remaining cocoa into a small bowl; sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over puddings. Pour the boiling water into a small jug. Holding the back of a spoon over each pudding, carefully pour ¼ cup boiling water over the surface of each pudding to wet the sugar mixture completely.

5.

Bake puddings for 25 minutes or until the top is cake-like and firm to the touch. Dust with extra sifted cocoa. Serve immediately topped with ice-cream, and accompany with extra dulce de leche, if you like.
