Think of a sticky toffee pudding but EVEN better! Paul A Young’s salted caramel pudding recipe is wickedly good.
Paul says: “I love puddings for their comforting effects – they’re the soul food of the sweet world. I love chocolate too, especially fudgy brownies, so muddling the two together feeds my yearning for both. Warm puddings are even better served with something cold so I recommend giving the cream a blast in the freezer for 15 minutes before dolloping onto a generous portion.”
If you prefer a traditional sticky toffee pudding, you should try this recipe. We believe it really is the best you’ll ever make.

Method
- Heat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas 3½. For the caramel sauce, melt the 110g butter, light muscovado sugar and salt in a small pan, then simmer gently for about 10 minutes until it starts to caramelise. Remove from the heat, then whisk in the cream (be careful – it may sputter). Leave to cool for 15 minutes, then whisk in the rum (see Make Ahead).
- Meanwhile, gently melt the 100g butter, golden caster sugar and syrup in a pan until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat until the mixture is just bubbling. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate and mix well.
- Add the eggs, beat with a wooden spoon until smooth, then add the flour and mix again until smooth and just combined.
- Pour into the prepared baking tin and bake for 20 minutes. It should still have a wobble when you take it out of the oven (see tip).
- As soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, cover with some of the hot caramel sauce, then leave for 5 minutes. Serve with extra double cream or crème fraîche and more hot caramel sauce to drizzle over.
