Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4. Put the flour, cocoa, chocolate and caster sugar in a bowl. Mix together the butter, egg, milk, orange zest and stir into the dry ingredients. Divide the mix between 6 small ovenproof dishes (about 250ml each).
step 2
For the sauce, mix the sugar and cocoa, then divide between the tops of the puds. Boil a kettle and pour approx 3 tbsp boiling water over each pud. Bake for 25 minutes. You will end up with sponge on top and choc sauce underneath.
step 3
Finish with a dollop of crème fraîche and extra orange zest if you like.
