Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 liter Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
Break the dark chocolate into small squares or pieces. These will be used as the filling for the dumplings.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a small disc about 6-7 cm in diameter.
Place a piece of dark chocolate in the center of each disc. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the chocolate, pinching to seal and forming a small dumpling. Make sure there are no holes or gaps.
Bring the water to a gentle boil in a large pot. Gently lower the dumplings into the boiling water, making sure they don’t stick to each other or the bottom of the pot.
Simmer the dumplings for 8-10 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the dumplings and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Optional: Dust the dumplings with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm for the best molten chocolate experience.
