What is self-saucing pudding?
Self-saucing pudding is one of life’s wonderful mysteries. Well, unless you’re a scientist. In that case, you probably know the exact chemistry jargon of what’s taking place. As someone who is not a chemist, I will do my best to explain. Basically, self-saucing pudding is exactly as it sounds—it’s a pudding that essentially makes its own sauce.
It involves carefully pouring a hot liquid over the top of your pudding batter, and then baking the dish. The liquid mixture combines with the sugar and self-rising flour in the pudding to form a gooey, delicious sauce. Self-saucing pudding is magical, delicious, and something everyone should know about.
Key Ingredients
To make this delicious pudding recipe, you will need the following key ingredients:
- Pumpkin puree. This is a super important part of our pudding base! Make sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Unsalted butter. This adds a deeper depth of flavor and richness to our pudding, making it taste even more incredible.
- Pumpkin pie spice. You can use a store-bought pumpkin pie spice blend or make your own from scratch. If neither is an option, feel free to use cinnamon instead.
- Sugar. You will need brown sugar for both the latte sauce and pudding batter and granulated sugar for the latte sauce.
- Coffee. Feel free to use any kind of coffee you like. This is an essential part of the latte sauce and adds a rich, deep flavor to the dish.
- Malted milk powder. This adds a nutty sweetness and a really nice crunch to both the latte sauce and the pudding. You should be able to find it in the baking section of any grocery store.

Like anything else, homemade pudding must be stored in an airtight storage container.
