Directions
Grease a large pudding bowl and dust with caster sugar.
Melt the chocolate in a small bowl over a saucepan of hot water. Combine pecan nuts,
breadcrumbs and flour. Beat butter on Speed 5 until fluffy, add chocolate, yolks and half
the sugar, continue to beat on speed 3 until smooth. Clean beaters thoroughly-whisk egg
whites until stiff, gradually adding remaining sugar. Fold the egg mixture into the butter
mixture, also add the flour mixture and fold lightly to combine.
Place mixture in prepared bowl. Cover with foil and secure. Lower into a saucepan of
boiling water-half way up sides of bowl and steam for 45-50 minutes.
