The dessert of our dreams! Julias chocolate and raspberry self-saucing pudding!

Julia recommends eating it as soon as it gets out of the oven, to prevent the chocolate sponge from soaking up all the sauce.

And of course, serve it with a healthy dollop of double cream (or ice-cream!).

Julia’s Sumptuous Chocolate + Raspberry Self-Saucing Pudding!

Chocolate and raspberry are a classic combination — and for good reason! Nothing works better against the rich, decadent flavour of cocoa, than a tart berry — add in cream or ice-cream, and you’ve found our happy place.

This is why were so very excited when Julia suggested sharing her simply delicious chocolate and raspberry self-saucing pudding – another classic dessert!
