This South African Dessert Recipe Serves 7-10

Steri Stumpie Chocolate Malva Pudding is a must try. This decadent South African dessert is so delicious & is even more satisfying if you’re a chocolate lover.

Malva pudding is a South African sweet pudding which originated from the Cape Dutch. It contains apricot jam & is traditionally made without chocolate being included. A cream sauce is regularly poured over it while it is hot, & it is served hot with custard &/or ice cream or fresh cream.

This twist of flavour uses Steri Stumpie chocolate flavoured milk to create a blissful, comforting & chocolaty dessert.
