Ingredients
- 4 1/2 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup Italian 00 or all-purpose flour
Directions
Before you've even taken your coat off, put the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler above simmering water. Whisk every now and again until melted. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and flour until just blended. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture. Set aside.
Grease 4 (1-cup) ramekins with butter and add flour to cover the butter, tapping the ramekins to get rid of excess. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F about half an hour before you want to eat the puddings. And I'd leave cooking them until you've finished the main course. It doesn't matter if there's no food on the table for 10 minutes; and these do have to be done at the last minute.
So, pour the mixture into the ramekins and put them on a baking sheet in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are firm and cracking slightly and the edges set. Serve immediately and consider providing a pitcher of cold, cold cream for people to pour into their pudding's hotly deliquescing interior as they eat.

Oh gosh this is just magical. I made this tonight and served it really warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; their jaws dropped! It's super rich, super dreamy and OOZES chocolate when you take your spoon and delicately pierce through the almost shell like crackling exterior. This is a lovely lovely thing to have in your repertoire. Try it!

These are the most decadent, luscious, unbelievably mouthwatering pots of chocolaty goodness on the planet. They are also so simple you could be brain dead and nearly pull it off. Try it :

I ate this in a cafe and fell in love ! After many days of searching for this recipe , I found Nigella's recipe. My husband loves it !
I have a question though, how do I transfer the pudding from a ramekin to on to a plate ?
