Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients
Makes
- 160g dark chocolate
- 80g caster sugar
- 60g milk chocolate
- 4 eggs
- Butter for greasing
Preparation
- Pre-heat oven to 200C
- Put the oven on to 200c. Put the dark chocolate in a glass bowl and set it above a pan of simmering water. The chocolate will gradually start to soften and looks glossy - when it does this, stir it until it is smooth.
- Grease the inside of four 200ml ramekins with butter. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar to each and shake it around until the insides are coated.
- Divide the chopped milk chocolate among the ramekins.
- Beat the rest of the sugar with the egg yolks, using electric beaters, for about 3 minutes, or until you have a pale, creamy mass.
- Clean the beater and dry them thoroughly. Whisk the egg whites until they are thick enough to stand up in peaks.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the yolk mixture and then fold in the whites.'use a large spoon or rubber spatula to do this and try not to squash out too much air.
- Divide the mixture among the four ramekins.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. The puddings should be puffed and spongelike.
- Serve straight away with cream.
