How to Make Soft Centred Chocolate Puddings

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).
  2. Break 200g of good quality dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  3. Add 100g of unsalted butter to the melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 4 large egg yolks, and 100g of caster sugar until pale and thick (about 5 minutes).
  5. Gently whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. In a separate bowl, sift 25g of plain flour. Fold the flour into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Don't overmix.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among 6 well-buttered ramekins or oven-safe molds.
  7. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft and slightly wobbly. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  8. Carefully remove the puddings from the oven. Let them cool for a minute before running a thin knife around the edges to loosen.
  9. Invert each pudding onto a serving plate. Gently lift off the ramekin.
  10. Top each pudding with a spoonful of crème fraîche and dust generously with cocoa powder.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey chocolate heaven!
