Chocolate self-saucing pudding

HINT: This decadent dessert will impress any chocolate lover. Just remember to serve with a low-fat cream or ice-cream. It's a great dessert for winter dinner parties

1½ cups self-raising flour
1 tablespoon NESTLÉ Baking Cocoa
2/3 cup caster (superfine) sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
250 mL (1 cup) skim milk

SAUCE
2 tablespoons NESTLÉ Baking Cocoa
½ cup caster (superfine) sugar
315 mL (1¼ cups) boiling water

Preheat oven to moderate (180°C or 350°F). Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl, stir in sugar and make a well in the centre. Whisk egg, margarine and milk together, and pour onto dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, but don't beat vigorously or the pudding will be tough. Spread pudding mix into a 2 litre (8 cup) capacity ovenproof dish. To make the sauce, dissolve cocoa and sugar in the boiling water. Gently pour onto pudding mix. Bake for 40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the pudding (not through to the sauce at the bottom).

To microwave this pudding, use a round microwave-safe dish and cook on HIGH for 10 minutes. Test and if not ready cook for a further 2 minutes. Serve with low-fat custard or low-fat ice cream.
