- Serves:
- 10
- Temp:
- 160° c - 320° f
You Will Need
- 3 Eggs
- 100 g Dark chocolate
- 50 g Plain flour
- 100 g Sugar
- some Fresh mint
- 100 g Butter
- some Cocoa powder
- 6 aluminium pudding tins
- 2 bowls
- 1 baking tray
- 1 electric/handheld mixer
- 1 knife
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Turn the oven on to 180°C
Step 2: Prepare tins
Brush the insides of the aluminium pudding tins with soft butter, then spoon in some cocoa powder. Turn the tin in a circular motion and tap until the inside surface is fully covered with the cocoa powder. This will prevent anything sticking later.
Step 3: Chocolate & butter
Place the chocolate and butter in the heat-proof bowl, and place it over a pan of boiling water. Leave it to melt.
Step 4: Eggs
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Slowly incorporate sugar. Mix until airy and fluffy.
Step 5: Flour
Sieve the flour into the melted butter-chocolate mixture. Mix until no flour crumbles are seen.
Step 6: Combine
Now add the egg mixture into the chocolate-butter mixture so they are both in the same bowl.
Step 7: Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared aluminium dishes. Place into the oven for 6 minutes.
Step 8: Serve
Serve with ice cream. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a sprinkle cocoa powder.
