INGREDIENTS:

For the dry Ingredients:

• 115g plain flour
• ½ cup of coconut sugar
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 large tbsp cacao powder

For the wet ingredients:

• 115ml Pure Harvest Almond Milk Unsweetened
• ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp apple sauce (egg replacement)
• 60g vegan margarine (I used Nuttelex)

For the filling:

• 100g organic dark Loving Earth chocolate, broken into cubes
• ¼ tsp Himalayan salt

Toppings:

• Coyo Black Forrest Ice Cream

METHOD

•  Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease 3 or 4 small ramekins with butter or oil.
• Place all of the wet ingredients in a small saucepan, then place over a low heat and stir until melted and combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and combine well, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined.
• Fill each of the pudding tins half way up with the mixture, and then place 4 squares of chocolate in the middle of the the mixture. Cover with the rest of the mixture, and then give each tin a tap on the surface to level them out.
• Place on a baking tray, then into the oven for 10 minutes ensuring you don’t over cook them.
• Serve fresh from the oven with a scoop of Coyo Black Forrest Ice Cream and fresh berries.
