Cooking Steps

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Roughly chop pecans. Generously grease baking dish. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan or in the microwave. • Add basic sponge mix (see ingredients), dark chocolate chips, eggs and 1/2 the brown sugar to the melted butter. Mix until well combined. Transfer the pudding batter to the baking dish. Bake until just firm to the touch, 30-40 minutes. Immediately poke a few holes in the top of the pudding, then spoon over caramel sauce.

TIP: To check if the pudding is done, stick a knife or a skewer in the centre. It should come out clean.

• While the pudding is baking, quarter pears, then remove core. Wash and dry saucepan, then add the water and remaining brown sugar and stir to combine. • Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Add pears, then reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer until the pear is tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat.

• While the pears are poaching, place cream (see ingredients) in a large bowl. Whip with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 3-4 minutes.

TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metal whisk.

TIP: For the perfect soft peaks, whip until the cream just clings to the whisk or beater when lifted.

• Remove poached pears from poaching liquid. Divide chocolate toffee pudding between bowls and top with poached pears and whipped cream. • Sprinkle over the pecans to serve. Enjoy!
