Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams caster sugar
- 2 whole large eggs
- 2 whole egg yolks
- 50 grams plain flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/gas mark 6. Lightly grease 4 ramekins and dust the insides with unsweetened cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, melt them in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between intervals. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the caster sugar, eggs, and egg yolks together until the mixture is pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
Sift the plain flour over the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in until no streaks of flour remain.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for exactly 6 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centres will remain soft and gooey.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges of each pudding to loosen, then invert onto serving plates (optional).
Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
