This is what you need when friends come back with you unexpectedly and end up staying for a meal. It cooks in three minutes (… yes, you did read that correctly!) and is absolutely delicious served warm with my patent chocolate sauce and a scoop of Swedish Glace icecream.
You will need a mixing bowl, a glass bowl/dish (it has to be glass as it’s going in the microwave) and a measuring jug. No scales, no whisks, nothing … dead simple.
Recipe: Magic Chocolate Pudding

Quick Notes
If you are feeling brave, you can try turning it out. I’ve had mixed success with this bit: sometimes it comes out perfectly, sometimes I wish I’d never started! If you aren’t up for a risk, just serve it into dishes before you take it to the table. I put a scoop of vanilla icecream with each serving, then pour some of the sauce over the top. The rest of the sauce goes in a jug on the table for people to help themselves.
