What You’ll Need

• 25g unsalted butter: this is our creamy magic for that luscious texture.
• 50g caster sugar: just the right sweetness, melts easily.

Easy How-To

Let’s Get Cooking!

Alright, here we go! First, gather your ingredients… it’s like a little cooking treasure hunt. Once you got everything, grease up those ramekins with a bit of butter—this part is important, or you’ll be wrestling with your pudding later. Then, in a microwave-safe bowl, toss in your chocolate and butter. Microwave for about 30 seconds, give it a stir, and then melt it in 10-second bursts until it’s all smooth and liquidy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together your sugar and that egg until everything’s nice and frothy. Now, here’s where the magic happens—mix in that melted chocolate and butter. Stir until it looks all velvety. Gently sift in the flour, and be gentle, we don’t want to over mix… just combine until, like, no dry bits are left.

Okay, now divide that luscious batter between your ramekins. Pop them in the microwave for about 30 to 50 seconds. The key here is to watch closely! You want the edges set, but the center should still be a bit soft, like a warm hug. Once they’re done, let them cool for a minute—patience, I know, but it’s worth it!

Good to Know

• Your microwave’s wattage can change things a bit—might need to adjust on the fly.
• These puddings are best served warm – but if you’re feeling adventurous, a scoop of ice cream takes it to another level!
• If by some miracle you have leftovers, they can go in the fridge for a short time, warming them up before diving in again…

Serving Ideas

• You can top with a dollop of whipped cream or even a drizzle of caramel… it’s pure decadence!

Top Tricks

• If you’re feeling adventurous, add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor—trust me, it’s divine!
