Grease a 1-liter pudding basin with butter and set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Add the mashed bananas and milk to the batter, stirring until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pudding basin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the basin with a layer of parchment paper followed by aluminum foil, securing tightly with kitchen string.
Place the pudding basin in a large pot with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 50 minutes, checking occasionally to add more boiling water if necessary.
Near the end of the steaming time, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, heavy cream, and powdered sugar over low heat.
Once the mixture is smooth and warm, add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until melted and glossy. Remove from heat.
Carefully remove the pudding basin from the pot and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and invert the pudding onto a serving plate.
Generously drizzle the steaming hot chocolate sauce over the pudding before serving.
