Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease four individual ramekins with butter and dust the insides with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, gently folding to combine.
Step 5
Sift the flour into the mixture and fold gently until fully incorporated and smooth. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between 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 tops are just set but the centers remain gooey.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the puddings rest for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert each onto a plate or serve directly in the ramekins.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, garnish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
