  6. Serve puddings immediately with a generous drizzle of the strawberry sauce and softly whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

Lyndey’s Note: This can also be cooked in a larger dish e.g. 22.5 x 3.5cm (1.8 litre) round silicon tray from the Lyndey Milan range, in which case cook for 50 mins.
