Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Break up the chocolate and melt together with the sugar and water in a small saucepan, whisking to a smooth sauce. Divide this among 6 x 150ml ramekins or suitable individual pots (use about 2 tbsp in each one).
Cream together the butter and sugar in a food processor, incorporate the
egg and yolk, then the almonds, cocoa and flour, and finally the milk. Divide the mixture among the ramekins, spooning just under 3 tbsp into
each one on top of the chocolate sauce, which will surround it like a moat.
Set these on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, until the puddings are risen and spongy and the sauce is bubbling through the crust. Serve straight away with a little cream poured around the rim of each one โ the pud gets gooier the further down you dip.
