Description

Malva Pudding is a classic South African dessert known for its sweet, spongy texture soaked in a rich, creamy Amarula sauce. This recipe combines simple pantry ingredients with the luxurious flavor of Amarula liqueur, offering a warm, comforting pudding perfect for special occasions or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Pudding

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup apricot jam
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon Amarula liqueur

Amarula Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Amarula liqueur
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or individual ramekins to prevent the pudding from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, ensuring they are well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter, vinegar, vanilla extract, milk, and apricot jam. Stir thoroughly until you have a smooth mixture.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly runny.
  5. Bake the Pudding: Transfer the batter to the greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes until the pudding turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare Amarula Sauce: While the pudding is baking, combine Amarula liqueur, heavy cream, sugar, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  7. Soak the Pudding: Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the warm Amarula sauce evenly over the hot pudding to let it soak in deeply.
  8. Rest and Serve: Allow the pudding to sit for 10 minutes to absorb the sauce fully. Serve warm with extra Amarula sauce on the side if desired for added richness.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the pudding light and spongy.
  • Use warm water for the pudding batter to help the jam blend smoothly.
  • The Amarula sauce can be prepared ahead and gently reheated before serving.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed warm to fully appreciate the creamy sauce and soft texture.
  • Individual ramekins make for perfect single servings and look elegant when served.
