How to Make Chocolate Foundant Puddings

  1. Grease and flour 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or dariole molds.
  2. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), combine 170g (6oz) dark chocolate, chopped, 115g (4oz) unsalted butter, and 100g (3.5oz) granulated sugar. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly. Whisk in 4 large eggs one at a time, then whisk in 2 large egg yolks, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 50g (1 ¾ oz) all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 25 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for a few minutes before carefully inverting them onto individual plates.
  10. Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
