Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for greasing the ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease six individual ramekins lightly with butter. Dust them with cocoa powder, ensuring all sides are coated, and tap out any excess.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it together with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together using a hand or electric whisk until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, folding gently with a spatula until well combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour and add it to the mixture along with a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract. Fold gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and jiggly. Be careful not to overbake, as this will solidify the molten center.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Optionally, you can run a knife around the edges and invert the puddings onto serving plates, or serve them directly in the ramekins.
Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy the molten chocolate goodness!
