How to Make Irish Steamed Chocolate Pudding

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 2-quart pudding mold or a similar sized heatproof bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in the melted butter and then the milk until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pudding mold.
  8. Place the mold in a larger roasting pan or deep baking dish.
  9. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the pudding mold.
  10. Carefully place the pan in the preheated oven and steam for 2 hours. Check the water level occasionally and add more boiling water if needed.
  11. After 2 hours, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with your favorite whipped cream or ice cream.
