Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter 6 × 250ml ramekins. Beat the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa, baking powder, ground almonds and milk together.
step 2

Peel the pears and cut off the bottoms so that they will stand with a decent amount of height above the rims of the ramekins. Chop the bottom parts and fold into the chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the ramekins until they are two-thirds full, then push the tops of the pears in.
step 3

Bake for 30 minutes or until the pudding mix is puffed around the pears. Serve with cream.
