Ingredients

• 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 125 milliliters whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 grams pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 2-liter baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk both the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the pitted cherries gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. A toothpick inserted along the edges should come out clean, but the center should remain moist and fudgy.

Step 10

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the pudding warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar. Pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
