Ingredients

160g dark chocolate, chopped
butter, for greasing
80g caster sugar
60g milk chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
cream, to serve

Method

Step 1
Put the oven on to 200C. Put the dark chocolate in a glass bowl and set it above a pan of simmering water. The chocolate will gradually start to soften and look glossy. When it does this, stir it until it is smooth.
Step 2
Grease the inside of four 200ml ramekins with butter. Add ½ teaspoon of the sugar to each and shake it around until the insides are coated. Divide the chopped milk chocolate among the ramekins.
Step 3
Beat the rest of the sugar with the egg yolks, using electric beaters, for about 3 minutes, or until you have a pale, creamy mass. Clean the beaters and dry them thoroughly. Whisk the egg whites until they are thick enough to stand up in peaks.
Step 4
Fold the melted chocolate into the yolk mixture and then fold in the whites. Use a large spoon or rubber spatula to do this and try not to squash out too much air. Divide the mixture among the four ramekins. Bake for 15-20 minutes. The puddings should be puffed and spongelike. Serve straight away with cream.
