Chocolate Pudding

My Daughter got ahead of me the other day and made an old fashioned chocolate pudding laden with sugar, the same one my mother used to make for me when I was younger and the same one I made for my children for years until we became more conscious of our sugar intake.
When it came to consuming it - she had a couple of mouthfuls and then rested her spoon and stated that it was too sweet and she couldn't eat anymore. With that in mind I thought I would share my almost sugar free version of the pudding that we consume probably at least once a fortnight in our home. The pudding is my own recipe but I did keep the sauce from the historical pudding, which does contain sugar and cocoa, rather than cacao.

Ingredients:
1 cup SR Flour
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup cacao powder
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup rice malt syrup
1 egg

Method:
Mix all ingredients together using electric mixer.
Grease pudding bowl and pour in.

Sauce Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 dessertspoons cocoa
1/2 cup sugar.

Method:
Mix all together in a heat proof jug and then poor over the back of a spoon over pudding.
Place in preheated oven at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Serve with cream or a dash of icecream (or if in our family - milk)

​ENJOY!!!
