How to Make Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding

  1. Sift together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar into a large bowl.
  2. Stir in 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Spoon the batter into a large, oven-safe ring mold or a 1.5-quart casserole dish.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup shredded coconut. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  5. Carefully pour 1/2 cup boiling water over the batter. Cover the dish with a sheet of waxed paper or microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
  6. Microwave on high for 6-7 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the sauce is bubbling. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave; check for doneness after 6 minutes.
  7. Let stand for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing the waxed paper/plastic wrap. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
