Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams bittersweet chocolate
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 3 pieces large egg yolks
- 45 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Lightly grease six 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust them with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess. Set aside.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture turns pale and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour into the batter and fold it in gently using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the vanilla extract and stir just until incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
Carefully run a knife around the edges of each pudding to loosen it. Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and gently lift it off.
Serve the molten chocolate puddings immediately, optionally garnished with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
