One of the best things about the weather turning colder is that it’s a perfect excuse to bake something really decadent and comforting.  I recently did just this and in so doing, I found my new go-to self-saucing chocolate pudding.

This isn’t just any self-saucing chocolate pudding.  It’s a gorgeous combination of light, spongy cake dotted with melted chocolate, while underneath is a layer of gooey, thick pudding.  What makes this particular recipe so brilliant is that it’s lightened up with Greek yoghurt, which is one of my most favorite ingredients to bake with.

My variations in this recipe included using raw cacao powder instead of regular cocoa powder, and I replaced roughly 1/2 of the caster sugar with coconut sugar (although next time, I might use all coconut sugar), to make it *slightly* healthier.  For the chocolate, I used Lindt 70%, of course.

When these little beauties come out of the oven, serve them up straight away with a dollop of room-temperature Greek yoghurt.  The tang of the yoghurt brings the puddings up to another level, making them completely and insanely irresistible.

This recipe has truly won me over and is one of my most favorite recipes I’ve ever made.  It’s very easy to make and uses basic ingredients from the pantry and refrigerator (presuming you don’t plan on using coconut sugar or raw cacao!).  It’s also a great crowd-pleaser, so next time you have guests who are feeling a bit chilly during these autumn evenings, pop into the kitchen and whip up a batch of these.  They’ll love you for it!

    These look great! Do you think that baking/cooking with greek yogurt changes the flavour?

      It depends on what it is you’re baking/cooking, but I find it generally adds a slight “tang” to the overall taste. I’ve found it also often changes the texture of raw batter by making it more airy; raw dough by making it more smooth; and in baked goods by making them more moist.

    I don’t have any ramekins but I’d get some for this recipe. But please give me a hint: what is the capacity of a “smallish” ramekin?? Looks delicious.

      Hi KareninStLouis, I used ramekins that hold 250ml (8oz , 1 cup) of liquid.
