- Spoon half of the mixture into the buttered steam pudding pot, put the choc chips inside the middle of the mixture and cover it with the remaining mixture, smooth top and sift together 1 tablespoon of cocoa and 1 tablespoon of sugar on top
- Close the steam pudding lid and put it in the boiling water cook for 1h 30 minutes, topping up with hot water every time it gets too low.
- Once ready, turn it upside plate on a flat plate.
- If you are preparing the pudding one day in advance, store it in a cool dry place or if you live in a hot country, you can put it in the fridge and continue the following instruction half an hour or 1 hour before serving (if you have stored it in the fridge, take it out a couple of hours before)
