Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters Whole milk
• 100 grams Dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 liter Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Break the dark chocolate into small squares or pieces. These will be used as the filling for the dumplings.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a small disc about 6-7 cm in diameter.

Step 6

Place a piece of dark chocolate in the center of each disc. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the chocolate, pinching to seal and forming a small dumpling. Make sure there are no holes or gaps.

Step 7

Bring the water to a gentle boil in a large pot. Gently lower the dumplings into the boiling water, making sure they don’t stick to each other or the bottom of the pot.

Step 8

Simmer the dumplings for 8-10 minutes or until they float to the surface.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the dumplings and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the dumplings with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm for the best molten chocolate experience.
