Chocolate, Caramel, Raspberry Self Saucing Pudding
I made this pudding out of a left over ingredient. It’s extremely easy and I would expect the ingredient can be substituted and this pudding would be just as good.
I made it with left over chocolate custard!. The kind you buy in the supermarket. It’s a special little ingredient we have after Skater helped me with the shopping. I usually whizz around as fast as I can avoiding the pre-prepared food section but Skater has a weakness for anything in a packet. I suspect it is because I wouldn’t buy things in packets when he was little – I have to justify his taste-buds some how.
When he agreed to skip the highly sugar coated cereal I thought he had turned a corner, but he just turned to the dairy counter instead. After just the one serve it has been forgotten at the back of the fridge now and it’s nearly shopping day again. He really is not interested in food particularly. If only I wasn’t interested in food, then perhaps…..oh that sentence is just silly, I’m going to stop. The one prepared food- I CANNOT do with out are frozen peas. In fact I don’t really even consider them to be a prepared food, no they are dinner if no one else is home. Ok I’ll tell you another secret even though it may make me sound like a bit of a freak…..I even have a packet of frozen peas at work. Look seriously, I will never starve if I have peas.
I will probably also never starve if I have enough left overs in the fridge that I can cook into brand new delicious things like this Chocolate, Caramel, Raspberry self saucing pudding. Just so you know, Skater had a tablespoon of this self saucing pudding, he said it was very nice but that spoon would do him…… so sad.

The chocolate pudding looks so tempting and droolworthy! I am a lover of chocolate and the raspberry is a wonderful addition to this! 🙂
while i’ve never made a self-saucing pudding, i think it’s a brilliant notion. this one looks particularly outstanding!!
Thanks Grace!
This article is amazing. I have found this to be very informative. I love chocolates….Thanks for sharing this article.
We really liked packet food for one stage although we grew out of it pretty quickly after we realised that home made was better. I wonder if Skater will change?
Oh yes, I’ll have some of this, please. Right now. Yum…
My Mum used to make self-saucing pudding all the time when I was a kid, and we loved it. 🙂 Yours sounds marvelous too.
I tried to lick that gooey chocolate off my screen, but alas – not possible. Looks amazing! Must make it for myself.
Your son is missing out! I love the creative use of chocolate custard and this sounds like a delicious dessert.
Thanks Kari, I know it is sad ( for me)
