How to Make Chocolate Budino

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour six 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and thick.
  4. Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
  5. Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  7. Place the ramekins in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath for even cooking).
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
  9. Let the budinos cool in the ramekins for a few minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen them.
  10. Invert the budinos onto serving plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, crème anglaise, and fresh berries.
