Chocolate Pudding Cakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 ounces unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup Guinness Stout
- 1 Tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 large eggs
- pinch kosher salt
- 6 ounces dark chocolate chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350* F. Butter 5-7 ramekins. ( I used 1/2 cup ramekins, and got 7 pudding cakes. If you use larger ramekins, you will have fewer) Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Combine butter and molasses in a small saucepan and melt butter over a low heat, stirring until melted.
- Bring Guinness to a boil over a medium heat until reduced to 1/3 cup. About 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add chocolate, sugar, vanilla and salt to the butter and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Gradually add chocolate mixture and stir until blended. Add Guinness.
- Divide batter evenly between ramekins. Place on a tray on the middle rack of oven.
- Bake until edges start to crack, inside will of course be soft and shiny, about 25 minutes.
- Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream or caramel sauce. Finished them with a sprinkle of fleur de sel if desired.
Health Benefits

- Dark chocolate contains antioxidants that support heart health.
