Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Caster sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Egg yolks
- 45 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
Grease four ramekins (around 150ml capacity each) with 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
Lightly dust the greased ramekins with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess. This will help the puddings release easily after baking.
In a heatproof bowl, add the unsalted butter and dark chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until melted and smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each burst, until melted.
In a mixing bowl, combine caster sugar, large eggs, and egg yolks. Use an electric hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until it is pale and thick, about 3–4 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten egg mixture, using a spatula, until just combined.
Sift the flour onto the chocolate mixture and fold it in gently. Be careful not to overmix; fold until no flour streaks remain.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still appear soft and slightly wobbly.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the puddings rest for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each ramekin and invert onto serving plates.
Serve immediately, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
