Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for greasing)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a popover pan or a standard muffin tin generously with melted butter to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the chocolate milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to ensure the eggs don’t cook.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the melted butter until incorporated.
Fill each cup of the greased popover pan or muffin tin about halfway with the batter.
Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and set with a slightly crispy exterior.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the popovers cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan.
If desired, dust the popovers with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
