    Our Baileys Self-Saucing Pudding is classic winter dessert recipe with a twist... a rich chocolate sponge pudding with a cheeky and indulgent Baileys sauce. 

     

    One of our good old favourite recipes - the classic chocolate self-saucing pudding has had a  boozy makeover... say hello to the cheekiest winter dessert - Baileys Self-Saucing Pudding!

    The ingredients you need to make a chocolate self-saucing pudding with Baileys Irish cream

     

    The ingredients you need to make this Baileys pudding are virtually identical to the original chocolate pudding recipe... but of course, with the addition of Baileys!!!

     

    There are two parts to a self-saucing pudding:

    1. The chocolate cake-like pudding
    2. The sauce

     

    To make the pudding, you will need:

    • butter
    • milk
    • vanilla extract
    • egg
    • Baileys Irish cream
    • self-raising flour
    • cocoa
    • caster sugar

     

    And for the rich chocolate sauce, you'll need:

    • extra cocoa powder
    • extra caster sugar
    • Baileys Irish cream
    • boiling water

    How to make a Baileys chocolate pudding

     

    Self-saucing puddings are the easiest dessert in the world to make - with just a couple of simple steps....

     

    1. Start off by melting the butter and whisking together with the other wet ingredients.
    2. Add the dry ingredients and mix through.
    3. Pour into a baking dish.
    4. To make the sauce, sprinkle extra cocoa powder and caster sugar over the top of the pudding. Gently pour over the extra Baileys and boiling water. 
    5. Bake in the oven until the top of the pudding is firm/sponge-like, but the bottom (the sauce) is still liquid. 

     

    The steps needed to make Baileys Self-Saucing Pudding.

     

    How do you make the sauce for a self-saucing pudding?

     

    Making the sauce for a chocolate pudding is like a little bit of magic! Why? Because you prepare the sauce on top of the pudding, but once it's baked, the rich chocolate sauce will be hiding underneath!

    This means that when you serve up a bowl of self-saucing pudding, you'll get a top layer of chocolate cake-like pudding, with a beautiful sauce oozing out from the bottom. 

    When you're preparing the sauce, ensure that you sprinkle the extra cocoa powder and caster sugar evenly over the pudding layer and then gently pour the Baileys and boiling water over the top. There's no need to mix the sauce together - it will magically do it's thing in the oven!

      @BakePlaySmileBlog
      Planning to make this tonight. Sauce calls for 100ml or 100 g of Baileys and 350ml or 100 g of water??
      Confirming the measurements are correct for the water, 350 ml isn't 100 g
