Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Dark chocolate
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease four small ramekins or pudding cups with butter.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until fully combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder over the mixture, add the salt and orange zest, and gently fold until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the top is set but the center remains soft and gooey.
While the puddings bake, make the cocoa sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, cocoa powder, and sugar for the sauce. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer and is smooth.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the puddings are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle the warm cocoa sauce over the puddings, and garnish with additional orange zest if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
