Microwave chocolate puddings
“Beautifully fluffy chocolate sponge with an outrageously oozy middle (complete with your favourite chocolate bar) – what’s not to love? Heroing the humble microwave, these little cups of joy couldn’t be easier to bang out. For me, these feel like a proper restaurant dessert, without the price tag. ”
Ingreadient
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 100 g unsalted butter (cold)
- 100 g caster sugar
- 80 g self-raising flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 Snickers bar (or your favourite chocolate bar)
- 150 ml double cream or crème fraîche , to serve
Direction
- Snap the dark chocolate into a large mixing bowl. Cube and add the butter, then tip in the sugar.
- Microwave in 30-second blasts on a medium heat (600W), stirring every time, until the chocolate has completely melted.
- Fold in the flour with a pinch of sea salt, then crack and beat in the egg.
- Divide up the mixture between 4 small microwave-proof cups. Break the chocolate bar into chunks and push into the mixture, then microwave in pairs on high (800W) for 1 minute 15 seconds, or until risen and gooey in the middle. Remove the cups from the microwave (be careful – they’re hot!) and leave to cool slightly.
- Drizzle with the double cream or dollop over the crème fraîche and enjoy straight from the cups.
