Valentine Hot Fudge Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

    * 1 cup all-purpose flour
    * 2/3 cup sugar
    * 2 teaspoons baking powder
    * 1/2 teaspoon salt
    * 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
    * 1/2 cup milk
    * 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    * 1 cup brown sugar, packed
    * 3/4 cup boiling water
    * 1/2 cup raspberries
    * 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 medium ramekins or 4 by 4-inch baking dishes, and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup cocoa. Whisk in the milk, butter, and vanilla, just until smooth. Divide the batter between the 2 baking dishes.

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa, and sprinkle evenly over the batter. Carefully pour 3/4 cup boiling water over each dish and add about 8 raspberries to each dish. Bake 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh raspberries.
