Sticky chocolate raisin puddings are an indulgent dessert that combines the richness of dark chocolate with the natural sweetness of raisins soaked in rum. This recipe strikes the perfect balance between gooeyness and fluffiness, making it a delightful treat for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice, this recipe is straightforward and guarantees delicious results.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease six small pudding molds or ramekins lightly with butter.
- In a small bowl, combine the raisins and rum. Let the mixture soak for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the raisins to absorb the rum.
- Place the chopped dark chocolate and cubed butter in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter have melted and combined into a smooth mixture. Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and brown sugar together until well incorporated and slightly frothy.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the eggs and brown sugar, stirring continuously to combine.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and dry cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the pudding light and airy.
- Stir in the rum-soaked raisins, along with any remaining rum from the soaking bowl.
- Divide the pudding batter evenly among the prepared pudding molds or ramekins.
- Place the molds on a baking tray for easier handling.
- Bake the puddings in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean - you want them to be sticky).
- While the puddings are baking, lightly whip the heavy whipping cream until it reaches soft peaks. It should be thick but still soft and spoonable.
- Allow the puddings to cool for a few minutes before carefully turning them out onto serving plates.
- Serve with a dollop of the lightly whipped cream on top or on the side.
Tips:
- Soak the raisins in rum overnight for a deeper flavor infusion.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer taste.
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before using it to achieve a smooth batter consistency.
- Fold the flour mixture gently to keep the puddings light and airy.
- Serve the puddings warm with a dollop of heavy whipping cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
