The Basics

• Dish: Dessert and Sweets
• cuisine: English
• Serves: 4
• Prep Time: 0hrs 25 mins
• Cooking Time: 0hrs 12 mins

Ingredients

• 200g dark fine quality chocolate -
• 60g butter -
• 100g caster sugar
• 3 eggs -
• 2 lightly heaped tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread -

Method

Set the oven at 200˚c/Gas 6. Lightly butter 4 small ramekins or ovenproof
cups.

Break the chocolate into rough pieces and leave to melt in a basin suspended over gently simmering water. Let it melt without stirring,
occasionally poking any unmelted chocolate down into the liquid chocolate.

Put the sugar into the bowl of the food mixer, separate the eggs and add the yolks to the sugar. Beat till thick and creamy. Whisk the egg whites till airy and almost stiff.

Stir the butter into the chocolate and leave to melt then gently stir in the chocolate hazelnut spread. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites with a metal spoon. Take care not to over mix. Just firmly, calmly mix the egg white into the
chocolate making certain there are no floating drifts of egg white.

Scoop into the four buttered dishes and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes till risen. The tops should be cracked and the centres still slightly wobbly. serve with pouring cream.
