Serving Suggestions
This is a fairly rich pudding but for chocolate lovers a must! For best results use dario moulds which can be easily purchased from good kitchen stores. Cooking times may vary depending on your oven - the end result of the fondant should be reasonably firm around the outside and nice and gooey on the inside! If properly cooked this is a stunning pudding so don't be afraid to experiment with cooking times.
