Notes

  • You can make these Self-Saucing Mini Chocolate Pudding Cakes in 4 individual ramekins or in a big casserole dish, doubling the recipe.
  • For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips!
  • The mix of light brown and granulated white sugar makes for a rounder more caramelized flavor.
  • You can serve these Mini Pudding Cakes with whipped cream, but my suggestions are vanilla ice cream, fresh berries and a drizzle of homemade caramel sauce.
