Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease and line 6 - 8.5 oz ramekins with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour, almond, milk, apple, pineapple and apricot and mix until just combined. Distribute between ramekins, smooth surface and bake for 30-35 mins, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 mins.
Meanwhile, dip each cherry into chocolate and place on a plate lined with parchment paper. Chill for 15 mins to set.
Trim tops from pudding. Run a knife around rim of ramekins then turn cakes out onto serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar. Top with cherries and serve with ice cream.
