Light & dark choc puds recipe

Ingredients

  • 100g bar dark chocolate, such as Divine or Green & Black's
  • 100g butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 85g caster sugar
  • 50g plain flour
  • 8-10 squares of milk chocolate (Milka sets beautifully)
  • Maldon sea salt flakes (optional)

Method

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Butter and lightly flour six 150ml ramekins.

  • Break up the dark chocolate and chop the butter. Melt in a bowl in the microwave for 2-3 mins on medium, stirring halfway through.

  • Break the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the sugar and whisk until the mixture leaves a trail on the top when the whisk blades are lifted, about 5 mins. Stir in the flour, then the melted chocolate mix.

  • Divide between the ramekins and push two squares of milk chocolate into the centre of each. (At this point you can leave them on the side for up to 2 hrs until you are ready to bake them.) Put on a baking sheet and bake for 12 mins exactly.

  • Cool for 5 mins, then turn out onto plates and sprinkle the top of each with a pinch of sea salt, if you fancy trying it. The puds are good warm or at room temperature, so there’s no panic about serving them straight away.
