Indulge in the rich and heavenly delight of Pie Maker Chocolate Puddings. These oozy, chocolatey creations are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth and impressing guests. Made with simple ingredients like dark chocolate, butter, sugar, flour, and eggs, these puddings are easy to prepare and cook right in your pie maker.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces to help it melt faster.
- Cut the butter into small cubes.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water (this is a double boiler method).
- Add the dark chocolate pieces and butter cubes to the bowl.
- Stir occasionally until both the chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined to form a smooth mixture.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Batter:
- In a separate bowl, beat the four eggs until they are well combined.
- Gradually add the sugar to the beaten eggs, whisking continuously until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
- Sift the all-purpose flour into the batter and gently fold it in until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. Preheat the Pie Maker:
- Plug in and preheat your pie maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Most pie makers will take a few minutes to preheat.
5. Fill the Pie Maker:
- Grease the wells of the pie maker with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the puddings.
- Carefully spoon the batter into each well, filling them about 3/4 of the way to leave room for the puddings to rise.
6. Cook the Puddings:
- Close the lid of the pie maker and cook the puddings for about 6-8 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your pie maker, so check the puddings after 6 minutes. They should have a slightly firm exterior while remaining gooey and molten in the center.
7. Remove and Serve:
- Carefully remove the puddings from the pie maker using a heatproof spatula or tongs. Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate molten centers.
- Serve the puddings immediately to enjoy the gooey chocolate center. You can optionally dust them with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Ensure that the chocolate and butter are melted together smoothly to create a consistent base for your batter.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth on the hot center.
- Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overcook the puddings; the center should remain molten and gooey.
Enjoy the decadent, gooey center of these Pie Maker Chocolate Puddings, a treat that's sure to become a favorite. Whether it's for a special occasion or a simple dessert craving, these puddings deliver a luscious experience with every bite.
