This recipe is a must for St Valentine. Chocolate is the king ingredient and its richness will conquer the heart of the person you love
Mamma Flora tip: If you like extra richness, put a small piece of dark chocolate in the middle of the pudding muds with the mixture just before baking
Ingredients:
150g Dark chocolate
80g Butter (+ some more to butter the moulds)
20g Flours
10g Unsweetened cocoa powder (+some more to coat the moulds)
2 eggs
1 yolk
90g icing sugar
Tools:
2 bowls
1 pot
Electric whisk
sieve
4 Pudding Moulds
Silicone spatula
Method:
Pre-heat the oven at 180
Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, set over, a pot of simmering water and stir occasionally until melted. When melted turn off the heat and add the butter to the chocolate, mix it and leave to rest
In another bowl whisk the eggs and the yolk with the icing sugar until pale and moussey.
Add the chocolate and the butter melted to the mixture and continue whisking until smooth. Sift the cocoa and flour in the mixture and gently fold with the spatula
Butter the pudding moulds then coat them with some cocoa. Take out the excess cocoa
Spoon into the prepared moulds, stopping just shy of the top. Bake for 13-14 mins (depending on your oven)
Turn them out onto plates and serve them hot with extra icing sugar or ice cream
