Ingredients
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
-
Put the chocolate and milk in a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until the chocolate melts. Bring almost to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
-
Put the breadcrumbs in a large bowl with 25g/1oz of the sugar. Pour in the chocolate mixture and mix well. Beat in the egg yolks. Spoon the mixture into a 1.2-litre/2pt pie dish. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes until set and firm.
-
Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until standing in soft peaks. Gradually whisk in the remaining sugar, and whisk until you have a thick meringue. Spread the jam over the baked chocolate base and pile the meringue on top.
-
Return the pudding to the oven for about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
