Soft-Centred Chocolate Puddings

This chocolate pudding recipe makes the most fantastic dinner-party desserts.



Get the puddings ready and into their tins, then set aside to chill while you get ready for your guests. Take them out of the fridge as soon as your guests arrive, so that they return to room temperature. As you clear the table after the main course, just bake them in the oven for a truly amazing chocolate dessert.
