Chocolate puddings

Jem8472

Not sure if this is the correct board but I have seen lots of recipies on here so here it is.

I got this from a mag, they were trying to flog a pan to cook them in for £16 :rolleyes:

So I bought a cheap silicon type muffin pan and cut them up so each one can be turned out on their own. They are really impressive yet very simple to make. Lovelly with a few strawberries ontop.


Serves 6

Ingredients
150g/ 5oz dark chocolate. (70%coco)
125g/4½ oz butter
4 Eggs
2 egg yolks
130g/ 4½ oz caster sugar
60g/2½ oz soft plain flour sieved
10g ½oz good quality coco powder

Butter to grease the pan.

Method
Melt the chocolate and butter over a pan of hot water.
Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the eggs and egg yolks one at a time.
Fold in the sugar flour and coco.
Rest the mixture is a covered bowel in the fridge at least 2 hours. (I find putting it into the moulds then into the fridge is easier because after its been in the fridge its very sticky and hard to get off spoons etc.)

Preheat the oven 180c 350F Gas mark 4
Pipe or spoon the mixture into the mould ¾ full.
Place the tin on a baking sheet and bake for around 6mins (in a silicon mould I find this is actually about 10-15mins), until the puddings rise and the surface breaks slightly. The centre of the fondant should be liquid once cooked.

Serve
To release the puddings place a tray on top of the tin and gently turn over using a knife carefully lift off the lose bases.
Serve with icecream.


Hope you all enjoy, We all love them so so nice!!! and not sickly :j :j
