Method


  1. For the steamed pudding, place the butter, self-raising flour, ginger syrup, eggs and sugar into a food processor and blend until smooth. Fold half of the chopped stem ginger into the pudding batter and set aside.

  2. Grease a small glass bowl, then spoon a little ginger syrup into the base. Add the remaining chopped stem ginger, then spoon the pudding batter on top.

  3. Smooth down the surface with a palatte knife, cover with cling film and cook in the microwave at its highest setting for 4½ minutes, or until risen and cooked through. Remove the cling film and turn the pudding out onto a serving plate.

  4. For the chocolate sauce, place the melted chocolate, cream and honey in a bowl and mix until smooth. Pour over the steamed pudding.

  5. For the hot toffee sauce, place the butter, sugar, double cream, orange zest and juice into a pan over a low heat and cook until melted and combined to a smooth sauce.

  6. To serve, pour the toffee sauce over the pudding and serve.
