How to Make Six Minute Soft Centred Chocolate Puddings

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas Mark 8.
  2. Break 200g of dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Add 50g of butter and stir until melted and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs, 4 large egg yolks, and 100g caster sugar until pale, thick, and creamy (about 5 minutes).
  4. Gently whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  5. Sift in 25g of plain flour and carefully fold it into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  6. Butter six ramekins or oven-safe pudding bowls.
  7. Divide the chocolate mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  8. Bake for 6 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft and wobbly.
  9. Carefully remove the puddings from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  10. Run a thin knife around the edge of each pudding to loosen it from the ramekin.
  11. Invert each pudding onto a plate. Gently lift off the ramekins.
  12. Top each pudding with a spoonful of crème fraîche and dust generously with cocoa powder.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
