Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 50 grams plain flour
- 50 grams amaretti biscuits
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- for serving whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust the insides with cocoa powder. Tap out excess cocoa powder and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and caster sugar together using an electric whisk for about 4-5 minutes, until the mixture is pale, thick, and fluffy.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to knock out too much air.
Sift the plain flour and a pinch of salt into the mixture, then gently fold until fully combined.
Crumble the amaretti biscuits into coarse pieces (not too fine) and fold them into the batter.
Divide the pudding mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about ¾ full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. The puddings should have set edges with slightly gooey centers.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
