Method

  • step 1

    Measure the milk in a large jug, then blend with the prunes and coffee in a food processor until smooth. Add the butter, sugar, egg, almonds, cocoa, flour and a pinch of salt, then blitz again to make a thick batter.

  • step 2

    Scrape evenly and cleanly (don’t take the mixture up the sides) into 4 x 175ml ramekins (don’t use any with metal on them!). Cook in the microwave, spaced round the edge of the turntable, on Medium for 6 mins. The puddings will still look a bit moist, but that’s fine. Stand for 5 mins, then serve topped with a scoop of ice cream and a little liqueur, if you like.

Disappointing as it really didn't taste chocolatey and the texture was too dense for my liking. The only advantage was that it cooked in the microwave and therefore didn't use up much energy.

Recipe? I can't find it

Can be summed up in one word - tasteless. Or, disappointing. The colour is dark brown but none of the flavours - prune, chocolate, coffee - comes through distinctly. There is insufficient sugar to make it a satisfactory pudding.

Hardly gourmet, but super quick and a good way of using up odds and ends. I made x1.5 for 6 of us in a pudding basin (using a large egg and splash of milk). I cooked on high for about 8 mins. Next time i d reduce the coffee and increase the cocoa. No one noticed the prunes 🙂

question

Please can you tell me what the power setting is for this? Saying medium is meaningless seeing as all microwaves have different power ratings.

Hi, this is tested in a 900W microwave on medium (not high) setting, but individual microwaves can vary even when they have the same wattage. If you can't choose a medium setting then you might need to reduce the cooking time by about a minute. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.

Disappointing pudding. All we could taste was prunes. Any chocolate and coffee was over powered by the prunes.
