And, unfortunately, not very healthy.
But it's and indulgence and perfect for a special occasion. There's enough leftover for freezing. Or, should you wish to avoid temptation, halve the recipe.
The batter can be prepared the night before.
Though the pudding is best served hot it is also great at room temperature.

'Nice and chewy, not too sweet or dry. If they could make cookies like this, I would be in heaven. I ended up with an entire pudding and it was so good, I ate it in one day. Loved the chocolate-hazelnut aspect.' Middle aged political agent.
