This Orange Self Saucing Pudding is a definite favourite in our house. In the last 3 weeks I've made it 3 times. It's that good!!
On the first night I made this Orange Self Saucing Pudding my fiance announced it was his new favourite dessert and went back for seconds! This pudding is super easy, so delicious and it's also a great way to enjoy the abundance of oranges on the market at the moment. In fact, it's so good and so easy you will never go back to those self saucing puddings that come in a box!
Better still, it's the type of dessert you can whip up on a weeknight after work that is sure to impress the family as it's so quick to prepare. What could be better than that?
Have you made your own self saucing puddings before? What are your favourite flavour combinations?

This was delightful so light, just right flavor, loved it! My ramekins were probably smaller than the ones used in this recipe, as everything boiled over. Thankfully they were on a sheet pan. I will divide it into eight servings to keep that from occurring in the future. So if you have small ramekins, that hold 3/4 C or 200ml, learn from my mistake.

Thank you. Just made this pudding. Result: perfect. Had it with ice-cream. Planning to make another as soon as possible.
Alison Drummond Jones says
Delicious! Light, not at all stodgy ... I halved the sugar in the sauce, and just used flour instead of cornflour - yum!
Nicole says
So glad you enjoyed it!
Penny says
Great recipe! I halved the sugar as my oranges are sweet & we don’t eat much sugar anyway & they were fabulous! Make them in a deep ramekin as you need to pot over all the juice mixture to get a good amount of sauce!
Nicole says
Thanks. I'm so glad you liked it!

Wow, this is really nice. A must try pudding dish. The season for orange is coming, I hope this winter I will definitely try this.
Jenny says
Yum just about to make this and am just wondering about the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Is this added to the the milk and egg mixture?.
Jennifer says
Yes it is. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the pudding. It's my husbands favourite.
hamisch says
Is your "cornflour" the same as America's cornstarch?
delicieux says
Hi Hamich, yes, you can use cornstarch. Let me now how it goes.
Tes Benton says
I would like to make this. Can you please clarify - is light brown sugar the soft sugar or fine raw sugar?
delicieux says
Hi Tes, brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added. You can get 2 types of brown sugar at the supermarket. Light brown with up to 3.5% of molasses added and dark brown sugar with up to 6% of molasses. Raw sugar is different in that the sugar crystals are unrefined and larger. I find that using brown sugar in this helps add an extra depth of flavour, but by all means you can use regular sugar 😀 I hope that helps.

Ooh fabulous! We're going through a citrus obsession in our house at the moment. This might be a great dessert to whip up on Friday when the cold nights hit again. Thanks!
