Chocolate pudding
- Cream butter and sugar in a freestanding mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.

- Add the remaining flour mix, milk, chocolate and mix again for 20 seconds.
- Combine any remaining dry ingredients with a large spoon by hand, do not over mix.
- Place the mix into six greased moulds and Steam at 100°C for 25 minutes. Remove from moulds.
Blackberries
- Place the blackberries and sugar into a small saucepan and heat on medium heat, induction setting 5, covered for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking for a further 7 minutes. Press through a sieve.
Almond crème fraiche
- Preheat oven on Fan Plus at 170°C.
- Place the almonds on a baking tray on shelf position 2 and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Place almonds and salt into a food processor and process for 10–15 minutes, until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Fold 75 g almond butter into the crème fraiche.
To serve
- Place a large spoonful of blackberries into a shallow bowl.
- Gently place the pudding in the bowl, with a quenelle of almond crème fraiche on top.
Hints and tips
- Use smaller moulds to make more portions if desired, the cooking time would remain the same.
- This makes more almond butter than required, however a smaller volume would be hard to process. Use the remaining for toast, granola etc.
