Ingredients

  • 2 small ripe pears, peeled
  • 50g self-raising flour
  • 3 tsp cocoa powder
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 medium egg

  • 25g dark chocolate, chopped

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/Fan 160/350F/Gas Mark 4. Grease two ramekins with butter.
  2. Beat together the flour, cocoa, sugar, egg, butter and vanilla. Mix in a splash of milk if the mixture seems a bit thick. It should be of a dropping consistency.
  3. Divide equally between the ramekins.
  4. Cut the bottoms off the pears so that they will sit flat, then push into the centre of each of the ramekins.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pudding has risen and is cooked through.
  6. To make the Cambozola chocolate sauce, chop the Cambozola into small pieces and place into a small pan with the chocolate and cream. Slowly melt over a low heat, whisking until combined. Remove from the heat and pour into a jug to serve.
  7. Serve the puddings either in the ramekins or pop them out and serve them on a plate.
