Super simple to make and guaranteed to impress, who will you be inviting round for dinner? Ingredients 125g Food Thoughts Luxury Dark Chocolate Discs plus some extra for filling 125g unsalted butter 4 large eggs 75g golden caster sugar 50g self raising flour 1 tbsp Organic Cacao Powder, plus extra for lining dishes 2 tbsp icing sugar to decorate – optional You will need: 6 (heart shaped) ramekin dishes Method Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas 4. Grease the insides of heart shaped ramekin dishes thoroughly with butter. To help stop the hearts from sticking, put a dessertspoon of Cocoa Powder inside and shake around until fully coated. Tip off excess. Repeat the with the other dishes. Put the 125g Dark Chocolate Discs into a heatproof bowl with the butter and either melt in the microwave (in 30 second increments) or stand the bowl over a simmering pan of water. When melted, put aside to cool. Use a mixer to beat the eggs and caster sugar until light and creamy then gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture in stages.Once combined, sieve the flour and cacao powder into this mixture – once again folding very lightly, until all mixed in. You are now ready to fill the ramekins – aim to fill them about ¾ full to allow for rising. Pour some mixture into the base of each of the ramekins (about half of what you will use for each) and then add a few Dark Chocolate Discs into the middle. This will help it to stay gooey. Pour the remainder of the mixture on top (finishing at approximately ¾ full). Level the tops. Put the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for approximately 6-8 minutes. They should form a firm crust and be baked on the outside but still gooey in the middle. When cooked, loosen the edges by running a knife around the outside, turn them upside down directly on to a plate and gently shake to release them. Serve warm with your choice of fresh berries, chocolate sauce or ice cream.
