How to Make Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 1.5-quart oven-safe dish (like a Pyrex pudding bowl).
  3. In the prepared dish, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter for 45 seconds on high in the microwave, or in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
  4. Whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
  6. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa mixture evenly over the pudding batter.
  7. Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the brown sugar and cocoa topping. Do this slowly to avoid splattering.
  8. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the pudding is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Let the pudding stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  10. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
