Directions
Choc Chip & Banana Pudding W/Glossy Choc Sauce (Steamed), This is another lovely dessert from my Chocolate cookbook by Christine McFadden & Christine France These girls never fail me! This 1 is steam-cooked in a 4-cup bowl My steamer is oblong-shaped & will not accept a 4-cup rd bowl, so I have made it in 4 individual dessert bowls & 8 ramekins Adjusted cooking time for these sizes is noted below The taste of banana & choc is pleasingly subtle here & combines w/an almost gingerbread flavor that reminds me of my mom Serve it warm w/the choc sauce as suggested below You are going to love this!, Gluten free here too, used red mill all purpose gluten free flour used custard cups and used a vegetable/rice steamer which worked fine I did not make the Choc Sauce and we loved it just the way it was , This was so yummy! I had to adapt the recipe because we are gluten and lactose free, and I cooked them in coffee cups in a regular steam pan on the stove top which took 25-30 minutes and worked out great! This is what used: 2/3 cups glutinous rice flour plus 1 tsp baking powder, only 5 tbsp cane sugar and using full fat milk (lactose free) I forgot to add the butter (and never missed it :-)) Thank you so much for this forgiving and versatile recipe! Edit: Forgot to mention that frozen and then defrosted bananas worked just as well as fresh ones 🙂 🙂
