Lucy Wavermans Baked Fudge Pudding Recipes

PIONEER WOMAN'S BAKED FUDGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Beat the eggs until light in color. Beat in the sugar until just combined. Add the cocoa, flour, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix gently until well combined.
• Pour the batter into 4 large ramekins. Set the ramekins into a larger baking pan halfway full of water. I use a 9x13 glass pyrex pan and my 4-cup measuring cup full of water. It's easier to set the ramekins in the pan all off to one side, then put the pan in the oven, THEN pour the water in carefully in the empty spot not covered with ramekins.
• Bake until the upper crust is crispy and the rest of the batter is firm but not set, 40 to 50 minutes. If you pull it out of the oven and have second thoughts, stick it back in for 10 more minutes.
• Serve with sweetened whipped cream or as we prefer, a scoop of good ol' vanilla ice cream. Best warm right from the oven, but easily re-warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute before topping with the ice cream.

LUCY WAVERMAN'S BAKED FUDGE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a bowl, mix together sugar, flour and cocoa.
• Stir in eggs, melted butter, vanilla and nuts.
• Pour batter into a buttered 9-inch square baking dish.
• Place larger pan of hot water in oven and allow it to simmer.
• Place baking dish in larger pan.
• Water should come halfway up the sides of the dish.
• Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• The pudding is done when the surface is lightly cracked and the centre springs back when touched.
• The pudding has a custard consistency which firms as it cools.
• Serve warm or cold in squares.
• Serves 8.
• NOTE: When a recipe calls for food to be cooked in a bain marie, or water bath, it means oven-poaching.
• To oven pouch, half fill a roasting pan with hot water and place in the oven.
• When the water simmers, gently place the dish to be cooked in the simmering water.
• This creates steam in the oven and gently cooks delicate foods such as crème caramel, pates, baked puddings or some fish dishes.
