Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased mold with a tight-fitting cover.
- Place the mold into a pot with water below the top of the mold.
- Cook for 1 1/2 hours until the pudding is set and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate cocoa instead of regular cocoa powder. If you don't have a mold, a heatproof bowl wrapped tightly in foil can work. Ensure the water in your pot doesn’t touch the pudding mixture to prevent it from becoming soggy. You can also experiment with different extracts like almond or hazelnut for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Viennese steam pudding warm, drizzled with a luscious soufflé sauce for an indulgent dessert. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving it alongside a refreshing Mimosa Salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, steam the pudding again for about 30 minutes or microwave in short intervals, checking for warmth. If you prefer, slice and serve with a warm soufflé sauce to enhance its flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pudding a day in advance. Once cooked, let it cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it gently before serving to maintain the texture.
What can I substitute for milk in this recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, almond milk or oat milk can be good substitutes. They will not only keep the pudding moist but will also add a subtle nutty flavor.
How do I know when the pudding is done cooking?
The pudding is done when it has risen slightly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it still has wet batter, continue cooking and check every 10 minutes until fully set.
