For the sauce - mix the cornflour, cocoa and sugar together in a non stick saucepan. Add a little of the milk to mix a paste, then gradually blend in the remainder. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously and simmer for 2 minutes.
Run a knife around the edge of the baking dish and turn the pudding out on to a large plate, cut into slices and serve with hot chocolate sauce.
