 Chocolate
  2. 
    100g butter, plus a little for the tins
    160g light muscovado sugar
    3 eggs
    60g plain flour
    30g cocoa powder
    2 tsp baking powder
    55g ground almonds
    60ml milk
    6 small pears, very ripe
    pouring cream to serve
    
    

    Heat the oven to 160C. Butter 6 x 250ml ramekins. Beat the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa, baking powder, ground almonds and milk together.

    Peel the pears and cut off the bottoms so that they will stand with a decent amount of height above the rims of the ramekins. Chop the bottom parts and fold into the chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the ramekins until they are two-thirds full, then push the tops of the pears in.

    Bake for 30 minutes or until the pudding mix is puffed around the pears. Serve with cream.
