Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease 4 small ramekins or oven-safe cups with butter.
- Finely chop the dark chocolate. Divide the hazelnuts into two portions (40g each) and finely grind one portion.
2. Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Slowly add the cooled melted butter into the egg mixture while continuously whisking.
- Gently fold in the finely ground hazelnuts (40g) and all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and the remaining 40g of coarsely chopped hazelnuts into the batter.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them to about three-quarters full.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft and wobbly.
- Allow the puddings to cool for a minute before carefully inverting them onto serving plates. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter and chocolate are melted together to get a smooth blend before mixing with other ingredients.
- Toast the hazelnuts prior to using them in the recipe to enhance their flavor and bring out their natural oils.
- Chill the batter for about 30 minutes if you prefer a more viscous consistency in your lava center.
- Grease the ramekins thoroughly to ensure the puddings turn out smoothly without sticking.
- Keep a close eye on the baking time. Overbaking can lead to a fully set center rather than a molten one. Aim for 10-12 minutes depending on your oven.
- Let the puddings rest for a minute or two after taking them out of the oven to allow them to set slightly before serving, which will help with the texture balance.
With their gooey chocolate centers and nutty undertones, these Choc-hazelnut lava puddings offer a luxurious and satisfying dessert experience. Serve them with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate this decadent treat to the next level. Enjoy the luscious combination of textures and flavors that will surely become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
