‘Steamed Chocolate n Fruit Pudding’, a great option to pamper your chocolate loving family!...With the goodness of apple and raspberry, this sinful chocolate pudding is moist, slightly tangy and dense. It tastes luscious when served with chocolate honey syrup.This recipe is one of the easiest desserts that one can prepare. I have used cooking apple and homemade raspberry preserve. But you can try adding any other fruit and preserve of your choice. For the chocolate honey syrup, I have used semi-sweet baking chocolate and honey to have a rich, silky soft topping.
Peel, core and cube the apple. Drizzle apple cider vinegar over it and mix well. Keep it aside.
Sieve maida, cocoa powder and baking powder twice. Set it aside. Grease the pudding mould with butter and dust it with flour.
Fill 14th of the pressure cooker with water and bring it to boil. Cover it with the cooker lid without the regulator.
In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, melted butter and egg until it looks creamy.
Add the sieved flour, apple cubes, fruit preserve, essence and mix well. Transfer the mixture into the greased mould/bowl and cover it with aluminium foil.
Place the cooking rack/ring at the bottom of the pressure cooker. Keep the pudding bowl over the rack carefully and steam it for 45 minutes over medium heat.
Once done, open the cooker lid after the pressure in the cooker reduces. Insert a knife/toothpick at the centre of the pudding. If it comes out clean, the pudding is through with the steaming.
To prepare the chocolate honey syrup, melt the grated chocolate using a double boiler. Add honey and butter. Stir it gently to get smooth, glossy chocolate syrup.
Unmould and invert the pudding over a serving plate. Drizzle chocolate honey syrup over the pudding and serve immediately.
