Papaya Pudding with Chocolate sauce

Heeellloooo,,,

I'm going through a sweet patch it seems. No, I'm not in love or something, but rather my tooth seems to be in love with sweets these days. Had some ripe papaya at home. While me and my family finished half of the papaya on the dining table in the name of 'evening snacks', mom kept the other half in the refrigerator for later use. I relished the taste of ripe papaya so much that evening that I decided to make a sweet dish out of it. I tried to make Papaya Pudding, and smeared it generously with chocolate sauce. And the outcome was YUMMMYYYY!!!!! It's absolutely soft, delicate, moist, sweet, with a hint of the bitterness of cocoa. And it's absolutely easy to make, with minimum ingredients, and you don't need to sweat it out in the kitchen preparing it. Do try this out. I think you are going to like it.

Ingredients:

For the Pudding: 1 cup chopped ripe Papaya, 1 cup all-purpose Flour, ½ cup Sugar, 1 tsp Baking powder, 1 tsp Cinnamon powder, 1 cup Milk, 2 Eggs, 1 tbsp soft Butter.

For the Chocolate Sauce: ½ cup Milk, 1 tbsp Fresh Cream, 2 tsp Cocoa powder, 1 tbsp Sugar, 1 tsp soft Butter.

Procedure:

Sift the flour, and add all the ingredients for pudding, except for the papaya. Blend them properly so that no lumps are formed. It would form a semi-thin batter. Add the freshly chopped papaya into the batter and mix with soft hands. Preheat the oven to 180 C. Meanwhile grease the baking dish with butter, and sprinkle some flour on it. Finally, fold in the batter, and bake it in the oven at 165 C for 45-50 minutes.

While the pudding is baking, we shall prepare the chocolate sauce. Heat half cup milk on a pan. Add sugar and cocoa powder. Finally add butter and cream, stirring continuously for 30 seconds. Then remove from heat and refrigerate it. Your chocolate sauce is ready.

You know your pudding is baked when it takes a beautiful deep golden colour. Allow it to cool down. Transfer the pudding from the baking dish to a plate. Be careful while doing so, because the pudding is soft, and might break:

Next, it’s time to pour the chocolate sauce over the pudding as seen below:

Spread the sauce evenly all over the pudding, and then, cut them into pieces. Your soft, moist, and yummy Papaya Pudding with Chocolate Sauce is ready to be served.
