Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 8

175g butter , plus extra melted butter for greasing
cocoa powder , for dusting
175g good-quality dark chocolate (we used 70%)
200g golden caster sugar
4 eggs
50ml good-quality black coffee (we used espresso coffee)
85g plain flour
vanilla ice cream , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Use a pastry brush to grease 6 dariole moulds or individual pudding basins really well and place in the fridge for the butter to set. Then grease again, dust with cocoa powder and set aside.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate together over a pan of barely simmering water, then remove. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Fold the chocolate and beaten egg together, then add the coffee and finally fold through the flour.
  • Divide the mixture between the darioles. The puddings can now be frozen or chilled. Place on a baking tray and bake for exactly 12 mins until the mixture has puffed up and formed a crust but still has a slight wobble to it. Turn the puddings out onto serving plates and serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for a great contrast of hot and cold.
