| Comments: Everybody loves chocolate, and this is perfect for the occasional treat for those with diabetes. Good quality chocolate tends to be lower in saturated fat than normal chocolate. |
Ingredients:  2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids) 4 oz. all-purpose (plain) flour 4 oz. granulated or superfine baker's sugar 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 4 fl. oz. non-fat milk 1 egg 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 3 oz. hazlenuts, toasted and chopped Margarine, for greasing pudding basin |
| Instructions: Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Combine the remaining ingredients, except for the hazlenuts, in a food processor or mixer and blend for 1 minute at high speed. Fold in the hazlenuts. Lightly grease a 2 1/2 pint (1.2 liter) pudding basin with margarine. Spoon the batter into the basin. Cover with a lid or a pleated greased sheet of foil tied securely with string. Place the basin on a rack set in the bottom of a saucepan. Pour boiling water into the saucepan until it comes three-quarters the way up the side of the basin. Cook over a medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours or until a knife or skewer inserted into the center of the pudding comes out clean. Remove the pudding from the saucepan and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen and invert on to a serving dish. Makes 6 servings.
