  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, (180°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 6. Place a large baking sheet into the oven. Grease the pudding basins and dust each with cocoa powder.
  2. 2. Whisk the butter, sugar and condensed milk together until pale and creamy (use an electric hand whisk if you have one). Gently whisk in the eggs, a little at a time, followed by the vanilla and coffee mixture. Add the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly, then add the flour and whisk until smooth.
  3. 3. Divide mixture evenly between the pudding basins and bake in the oven for 10 minutes on the hot tray.
  4. 4. To serve, quickly run a knife around the edge of the puddings to un-stick, and turn out onto plates.
  5. These can be kept in the fridge until needed. If cooked from chilled, bake for 12 minutes.

    Hi would it be possible to cook these in the microwave?

    Carnation says:
    Hi Alison, no unfortunately not due to the way the mixture needs to be soft and gooey in the centre - baking in the oven is essential. They are heaven though so worth putting the oven on for!

    Hi, when it says can be kept in fridge, would this be the raw mixture before it has been cooked, and if so how long can it be kept in the fridge before it goes off.
    Thanks

    Carnation says:
    Hi Paul, yes you're right this is the unbaked mixture - keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Happy baking!

    is it really necessary to use coffee? if it is can you taste it? is there anything i can replace it with? i dont like coffee...

    Carnation says:
    Hi Mawl, the good news is you can leave the coffee out if you like! Its there to strengthen the chocolate flavour and to balance the sweetness but if you use a good dark chocolate then you may find its fine without. Happy cooking!

    I am vegetarian. Therefore I would like to know if this can be made without eggs.

    Carnation says:
    Hi Vinutha, the eggs in this recipe make the fondants rise and give the puddings their wonderful texture so unfortunately we think it may not be possible to make without them. You could experiment though - adding a little more condensed milk to make the mixture the right consistency. Best of luck!
