Method

  1. Butter two large coffee cups or individual ramekins, then line the bottoms with a circle of non-stick paper. Add 1 tsp honey to the bottom of each.
  2. Heat oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, squashing any lumps of sugar with your fingers. Beat the egg, butter and yogurt together, then stir into the dry mix until smooth. Spoon the mix into the cups, sit them on a baking tray, then bake for 20 mins until risen and golden. Test if they're ready by inserting a skewer - it should come out clean. You can make the puddings up to a day ahead, then reheat briefly in the microwave, or leave them in a warm oven, still in the cups.
  3. Loosen the edge of each pud with a round-bladed knife, then up-turn them onto serving plates. Remove lining disc, drizzle over a little more honey, then serve with a scoop of the pistachio ice cream (below) and a sprinkling of pistachios.

Pistachio Greek yogurt ice cream - serves 4

Put 100g caster sugar and 100g ready-shelled pistachios into a food processor, then grind until the nuts are very fine. Put 415g yogurt (a 500g tub minus 85g for the cakes) into a large bowl, then stir in the nut mix. It will seem thick at first, but leave it for 5 mins, stirring now and again, and it will loosen as the sugar dissolves. Spoon into a small freezer-proof container and freeze for at least 6 hrs or overnight. Let sit in the fridge for 30 mins before serving.

    The pudding itself very easy and delicious. The ice cream whilst easy to make, none of the guests were that thrilled with.

    Am not a fan of pistachios having lived in the Middle East where they are served on everything! So I served with frozen Greek Yoghurt/honey which complemented the puddings.

    I made these a few weeks ago for me and my partner and we both thought they were delicious. The only thing I wasn't sure about was whether the 1tbsp of pistachios was just for sprinkling or should also be mixed into the puddings?

    Really delicious. I found that it works best with a creme fraiche accompanyment, rather than ice cream.

    Have only tried making the ice cream so far, but that was fantastic - so much quicker than making normal ice-cream. I made it for a party and everyone loved it - no-one could believe it was homemade!

    It was very quick and easy to do. I've got enough mixture for 3 ramekins. It was pleasant pudding but not very impressive but I was in a hurry and did it without yogurt. It looks like yogurt makes these more special. Next time will try with it.
