Ingredients
- 150 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 75 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- butter and cocoa powder for greasing ramekins
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare the Ramekins: Grease 4 individual ramekins (about 200ml capacity) with butter and dust them with cocoa powder. This prevents the puddings from sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and chop the unsalted butter into cubes. Place them in a heatproof bowl and melt them together. You can do this by microwaving in 20-second intervals or by using a double boiler on the stove. Stir until smooth, and then let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Beat the Eggs and Sugar: In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Add the vanilla extract and gently mix until well combined.
- Fold in the Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the sifted dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, and salt) into the chocolate mixture until you have a smooth batter.
- Fill the Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly among the greased and cocoa-dusted ramekins.
- Bake: Place the filled ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will still be slightly jiggly.
- Serve: Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven. You can either serve them directly in the ramekins or gently invert them onto dessert plates for a more dramatic presentation. The lava pudding should be gooey in the center when served.
- Optional Garnish: You can dust the top of the lava puddings with powdered sugar, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Lava Pudding!
