If you love to have a pudding with chocolate oozing out of the centre, Usha’s steam oven is the perfect appliance to nail the dessert. Since the steam oven bakes the pudding in gentle heat and the steam surrounds the ramekins from all sides, you get a perfect gooey centre. Simply pour a classic chocolate batter into ramekins, add a block of dark chocolate to the centre, and enjoy a hot, chocolatey pudding in no time.
Tiramisu Pudding
The luxurious Italian dessert, tiramisu, has won hearts all over the world. To give the no-bake coffee-flavoured dessert a twist, you can transform it into a cosy winter pudding. Using Usha’s steam oven, first bake a moist coffee cake. Pour a shot of espresso and sugar solution over the cake. Spread mascarpone cheese, dust with cocoa powder, and serve the pudding.

Eggless Fruit Cake
The winter festivities like Christmas and New Year are incomplete without a fruit cake. Since traditional fruit cakes required soaked nuts for weeks, you can make a steamed fruit cake ready in under an hour. Just take some dried cranberries, raisins, and cherries soaked in orange juice. Once plump, mix into the cake batter, and bake till the fruit cake rises. Decorate with Christmas-themed toppings, and your steamed dessert will be ready to slice.

On a cold winter night, what’s better than having a dessert which highlights the seasonal produce - carrots? Prepare a batter by whisking eggs, butter, flour, and sugar together. Then, finely grate some fresh carrots, and fold them into the batter. Mix in some chopped walnuts and pour the batter into a greased pan. Bake in Usha’s steam oven and serve the warm cake with a side of whipped cream.
Steamed Crème Caramel
Be it at Iranian cafes or lazy Sunday lunches, everyone has enjoyed having custard growing up. But if you’ve always skipped making baked custard because of the water bath setup, make steamed caramel custard. Just place the custard ramekins in the steam oven and get a smooth custard with liquid caramel sauce at the bottom. Turn the ramekins onto a plate and serve the wobbly crème custard, perfect for winter gatherings.
