Thermomix Easy Chocolate Pear Pudding

A rich and gooey chocolate pear pudding that takes only 30 seconds to mix together in the Thermomix.  Serve it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and it’s heaven in a bowl.

This is my all time favourite Nigella recipe.  Adapted from the bestselling book Nigella Express, it’s comfort food at it’s finest.  It can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, ready to bake in the oven for half an hour and requires little to no planning as all the ingredients can be found in a well stocked fridge and pantry.

The best thing about it is the rich hot chocolatey sauce the sponge makes which complements the pears perfectly.  To top it off, it tastes delicious with ice cream or a dollop of fresh cream.

Note: For the photo I have used ramekins as I think they look nicer to photograph but usually I just use a shallow rectangular dish.

The original Chocolate Pear Pudding recipe can be found on Nigella’s website.
