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.

    Didn't have cups but had little ramekins it worked just as well. The icecream was a little sour on ot's own but worked really well with the sweet cake .

    Made the puddings the day before and they warmed up nicely in the oven under foil on a low heat. Gorgeous! The ice cream was too hard even after an hour in the fridge, so that spoilt things a bit but it was delicious after another hour at room temp!

    Simple and lovely. Went down a storm. I used EVOO instead of butter (for health, texture and flavour) and served with Greek yougurt and honey. I love the dome shape as it comes out of the cup and it looked just like the photo. It's a large portion, though, so next time I'll try it in 3 tea cups. We can always decide to have seconds!

    Can't believe I haven't commented on these yet - I've made them four times and every time they turn out perfectly. They go down an absolute storm! As mentioned above they are a big portion, but they're so moist it's not too much effort to eat them :) Ice cream is also lovely, I'm not a massive fan of greek yoghurt but the sugar sweetens it up enough. The colour is gorgeous. This one is a real winner!

    I made these for some guests today and they were absolutely delicious (and not at all heavy) with shop-bought pistachio ice cream. However, I would say that 5 mins preparation time is not realistic - 30 mins seems more like it. Leave some space at the top of the ramekins as mine overflowed; they also didn't come out in one piece!

    I love this recipe. Made it for a dinner party and it went down a treat. Only thing to remember is to take the frozen yoghurt out of the freezer a good hour before serving otherwise it's too hard. I used 0% fat greek yoghurt and it was lovely. I really recommend this pudding.
