When I first started baking, Chocolate Hot Pots would regularly feature on my table after dinner or as a midnight snack. A batch consisted of 4 ramekins and sometimes I’d bake these in disposable foil cups so I could sneak in one after lunch at work.
When it came to deciding what I wanted to bake for the first time in my brand new kitchen, a new space that I hope to soon call my own, I went back to my comfort zone of baking a family favorite.
A bite of rich molten chocolate just melting in your mouth, the brownie like cracked surface (you know how much I like that), Hot Pots make for a dreamy dessert. A perfect chocolate fix.
This post also marks the beginning of a delicious series I’m going to call ‘Desserts for Two’. With an unpacked kitchen, limited pantry supplies and I barely making it to the oven without stepping on a hundred packed boxes, it’s a great opportunity for me to bake and keep myself challenged. Desserts for Two will be my gratification for every box opened.
Come back next week because I have a bunch of strawberries staring at me.
- 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, with 60 percent cocoa solids
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup superfine sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Special equipment: 4 (2/3 to 1-cup capacity) ramekins
- Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Butter the ramekins with 1 tablespoon butter.
- Either in a microwave or in a bowl suspended over a pan over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter, then set aside to cool a little.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the 4 buttered ramekins. Bake for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.
- Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve.
This month’s bloghop is all about chocolate. So if you have a chocolate recipe that you’ve posted this month or plan to post this month, remember to hop along by linking it here.
