RECIPE OF THE MONTH
CHOCOLATE QUEEN OF PUDDINGS (SERVES 4-6)
A real old-fashioned favourite, modernised for chocoholics. It was made popular by Queen Charlotte. Her Majesty considered it a nutritious and economical dish to serve patients at her hospital. To honour the Queen the meringue was piped around the sides to give an impression of a crown.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ozs (50g) dark chocolate
  • ¾ pt (450ml) chocolate-flavoured milk
  • 4 ozs (100g) white breadcrumbs
  • 5 ozs (125g) caster sugar
  • 3 eggs, separated
