Simple to prepare and a delight to serve, these puddings promise to be a hit with family and friends.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or small pudding molds to ensure easy removal of the puddings later on.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract to the bowl. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure everything is well combined and smooth.
Sift together the self-raising flour and cocoa powder into a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not over-mix to ensure the puddings remain light and airy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin or pudding molds, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pudding comes out clean. The exact baking time can vary, so keep an eye on them after 15 minutes.
While the puddings are baking, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the finely chopped dark chocolate, heavy whipping cream, and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Once the puddings are done baking, let them cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the mini chocolate puddings warm, drizzled generously with the warm chocolate sauce.
These delicious mini chocolate puddings are best enjoyed fresh, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start, as this helps them to blend more smoothly.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can substitute it by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- To check if the puddings are done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Let the puddings cool slightly before serving to enhance their flavors.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra touch of decadence.
These Mini Chocolate Puddings are not only easy to make but also a delightful way to end any meal on a sweet note. With their rich chocolate flavor and tender texture, they are bound to be a favorite dessert in your repertoire. Enjoy them warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for an extra indulgence.
