Malt Chocolate Brown Butter Puddings for Two
Some desserts are worth saving room for, and these malt chocolate brown butter puddings are definitely one of them.
Made for two, these puddings have a delicate, golden malted sponge that gives way to a warm, molten chocolate centre. They’re rich and indulgent, with the nutty, almost caramel-like flavour of brown butter running through the chocolate, balanced by the nostalgic toasty flavour of malt.
Brown butter adds so much depth to chocolate, giving these puddings a slightly toasted, almost butterscotch-like flavour that makes them feel a little more special than your usual chocolate fondant. The malt brings everything together beautifully, adding that familiar chocolate malt flavour that pairs so well with the richness of the chocolate.
My favourite way to serve these is straight from the oven, topped with a generous scoop of malted ice cream. As the ice cream melts into the warm pudding, it creates the most delicious combination of hot, cold, gooey chocolate and creamy malt.
They’re surprisingly simple to make, but feel like something you’d order at your favourite restaurant. Perfect for a date night, a dinner party for two or just because you fancy a really good chocolate pudding.

Key Ingredients
For my Malt Chocolate Brown Butter Puddings, each ingredient has a little role to play in creating that rich chocolate flavour, nutty depth and irresistible molten centre.
Brown butter: The secret to adding depth and richness. Browning the butter creates a beautiful nutty, toasted flavour with hints of caramel that complement the chocolate and malt perfectly. I used Flora Plant Based Block Butter.
Dark chocolate: The heart of the pudding. Dark chocolate gives the puddings their deep, rich chocolate flavour and helps create that luscious, molten centre.
Malted milk powder: The ingredient that brings a nostalgic, malty sweetness to the puddings. It pairs beautifully with the chocolate and adds a lovely rounded flavour that makes these feel a little different from a classic chocolate fondant.
Brown Sugar & Caster Sugar: Adds sweetness and balances the bitterness of the dark chocolate, while helping create that delicate crust on the outside of the puddings.
Vanilla Extract: a little vanilla rounds out the chocolate flavour and complements the warm, caramel-like notes of the brown butter
