Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 40 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for coating ramekins)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease six ramekins with butter and sprinkle each with a little granulated sugar, coating the insides evenly. Tap out any excess sugar.
Step 2
Roughly chop the dark chocolate and melt it with the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
Step 4
Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently by hand until combined.
Step 5
Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
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 remain soft and molten.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the puddings rest for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges if needed, then turn them out onto serving plates or serve directly in the ramekins.
Step 9
Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
