Ingredients

• 150 grams Dark chocolate
• 75 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 150 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for sauce)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease four small ramekins or pudding cups with butter.

Step 2

Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder over the mixture, add the salt and orange zest, and gently fold until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Divide the batter equally among the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking tray.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the top is set but the center remains soft and gooey.

Step 8

While the puddings bake, make the cocoa sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, cocoa powder, and sugar for the sauce. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer and is smooth.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Once the puddings are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Drizzle the warm cocoa sauce over the puddings, and garnish with additional orange zest if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
