INGREDIENTS USED IN  CHOCOLATE LAVA PUDDING

  • All purpose flour

All-purpose flour acts as a binding agent, holding the other ingredients together to form a cohesive batter. It absorbs the liquid ingredients in the batter, such as milk and melted butter, helping to thicken the mixture and create a smooth, pourable consistency. This absorption process contributes to the pudding’s overall moisture content and prevents it from being too thin or watery. You can use whole wheat flour also in same proportion for a healthier version.

  • Cocoa powder

Cocoa powder is the primary source of chocolate flavour in lava pudding. Its rich and intense cocoa taste adds depth and complexity to the dessert, creating a decadent and indulgent experience for chocolate lovers. Cocoa powder acts as a thickening agent in the batter, helping to give the pudding its desired viscosity and preventing it from being too thin or watery. The dark hue of cocoa powder imparts a deep, rich colour to the lava pudding batter.

  • Butter

Butter contributes moisture to the pudding batter, resulting in a moist and tender crumb. As the pudding bakes, the butter melts and disperses throughout the batter, ensuring that each bite is soft and velvety. It adds a luxurious richness and depth of flavour to lava pudding.

In lava pudding, the molten centre is created by the contrast in texture between the outer layer, which is set and cake-like, and the gooey centre, which remains liquid. Butter plays a key role in this process by melting during baking and contributing to the liquidity of the centre, resulting in the desired lava-like consistency.

  • Milk

The liquid content of the milk hydrates the dry ingredients, such as cocoa powder and flour, resulting in a smooth and creamy batter. While milk itself has a mild flavour, it helps enhance the overall taste profile of lava pudding by allowing other ingredients, such as cocoa powder and vanilla extract, to shine through. The subtle sweetness of milk adds depth and richness to the dessert without overpowering its chocolatey goodness. I have used Nestle milk for this recipe

  • Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate provides the intense chocolate flavour that is characteristic of lava pudding. Its deep, bittersweet taste adds complexity and depth to the dessert, creating a luxurious and indulgent experience for chocolate lovers. Dark chocolate melts during baking, creating the gooey, molten centre that is the hallmark of lava pudding. As the pudding bakes, the chocolate liquefies, forming a velvety pool of molten goodness that oozes out when the pudding is sliced or spooned into. I used this Dark Chocolate for the recipe.

  • Sugar

Sugar is a primary source of sweetness in lava pudding, balancing out the bitterness of cocoa powder and dark chocolate. It acts as a stabilizer in the pudding batter, helping to hold the ingredients together and create a cohesive mixture. It provides structure to the dessert, ensuring that it holds its shape during baking and has a uniform texture throughout.

 

EQUIPMENT USED FOR MAKING  LAVA PUDDING

The kind of equipment you use when you’re baking makes a huge difference to the end result! I would recommend you to use good quality mixing bowls and other equipment so that your Lava Pudding come out delicious!

To mix all my ingredients together in, I’m using Borosil’s 100% Borosilicate Glass Bowl which is microwave and oven safe, plus the bowls are super easy to clean and handle, which makes my baking process totally hassle free!

Not a single day goes in my kitchen when I don’t use a Silicon Spatula, this is the one I recommend. Same goes for my set of Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons.

TIPS TO MAKE THESE LAVA PUDDING

 

  1. Use a microwave-safe mug that is large enough to accommodate the pudding batter without overflowing during cooking.
  2. Ensure that the batter is well mixed to incorporate all the ingredients evenly. This will help achieve a smooth texture and consistent flavour throughout the pudding.
  3. Microwave the pudding in short intervals (e.g., 1-minute increments) to prevent overcooking. Check the pudding after each interval to avoid overheating, as microwave wattages vary.
  4. The pudding is ready when the top appears set but still slightly jiggly.
  5. Allow the pudding to cool for a minute or two after microwaving. This will help it set slightly and prevent burns from the hot mug. Serve the pudding warm for the best texture and flavour.
  6. Enhance the presentation of your microwave lava pudding by garnishing it with toppings like a dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream. These additions not only add flavour but also complement the richness of the pudding.
