Ingredients
- 150g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)
- 300ml double cream
- 200ml milk
- 50g butter
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g canned caramel or dulce de leche
- 10 cooked waffles (receipe suggested toasted waffles)
- 4 medium egg yolks, beaten
- Pinch of sea salt
- Icing sugar, for dusting (optional)
Method
1. Fill a large pan with a few centimetres of water and set over a medium heat. Place a large heatproof bowl over the pan - it should sit on top without touching the water. Break the chocolate into the bowl, then tip in the cream, milk, butter, caster sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Reduce the heat to low, and stir the mixture until everything has melted together and is glossy. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
2. Spread the caramel over the base of a baking dish, then sprinkle with the salt. Cut the waffles in half diagonally, then arrange over the caramel in overlapping rows.
3. Pour the egg yolks into the warm chocolate mixture, mixing well until all of the egg is fully incorporated. Carefully poor the chocolate custard over the waffles, ensuring they are fully covered. Leave to soak for at least 1 hour, or cover and chill overnight.
4. Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas Mark 4 and uncover the dish if it has been chilled. Bake the pudding for 30 minutes until the custard is set with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then dust lightly with icing sugar, if you like, and scoop into bowls to serve.
