Ingredients

• 45g butter
• 60g milk
• 60g 70% dark chocolate, plus 40g chopped
• 60g caster sugar (I prefer raw caster sugar)
• 60g plain flour
• 30g quality cocoa powder
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Salt
• 2 eggs
• Tonka bean (optional)

Topping

• 55 brown sugar
• 12g quality cocoa powder (2 tsp)
• 20g 70% dark chocolate, chopped
• 3tbsp boiling hot water
• LINDOR of choice per serve (dark is my preference)

Method

1. In a saucepan, gently melt together the butter and 60g chocolate along with the milk. Set aside to cool.
2. In a bowl combine the dry ingredients. Whisk in the eggs and the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Add the 40g chopped chocolate and Tonka if using.
3. Place into microwave-proof ramekins or serving dishes.
4. For the topping, combine the brown sugar, cocoa and chopped chocolate. Sprinkle an even layer on each pudding. Top with a touch of boiling hot water.
5. Microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes or until the pudding is cooked.
6. Carefully remove hot ramekin from the microwave and with a knife, open the centre slightly and place a LINDOR truffle inside.
7. Push together the cut again slightly. This will create a wonderful, rich, saucy centre.
8. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
