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

While this dessert is a treat, it does offer a few surprising benefits:

  • Dark chocolate contains antioxidants that support heart health.
  • Eggs provide protein and essential nutrients.
  • Moderate stout (Guinness) adds depth and contains small amounts of iron.
  • Molasses offers trace minerals like calcium and potassium.
