Valentine's Day Special - Dessert

Dessert - Moelleux au Chocolat (Chocolate lava cake)


We recommend pairing with dry red wine

Ingredients
(make 6)

150g of baking dark chocolate
12 cubes of baking dark chocolate (or white chocolate for the special touch)
80g of butter
90g of white sugar
2 tablespoons of flour (raised)
4 eggs
Icing sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 240 degrees.
Melt butter and chocolate (excluding the 12 cubes) in a baking bowl and mix evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar. Add flour and chocolate mix and stir evenly.
Brush 6 ramekins with butter.
Fill half of each ramekin with chocolate mix, add 2 cubes of chocolate and top up with chocolate mix*.
Bake for 10 minutes.

Serve warm with a dash of icing sugar.

*Be careful not to fill the ramekin to its brim as the cake will rise slightly during baking.

Happy Valentine's Day!
