method


This pudding is chocolate heaven! The original recipe idea for it came from my mate Ben, the head chef at Monte's. I've changed it round a bit to make it easier to make at home.

Melt 125g chocolate with the coffee, then pour into small ice-cube molds and freeze until hard. Take 6 small 3-inch pastry rings, dariole molds or cappuccino cups and grease well with some butter. Place in the fridge while you make your sponge mixture. Melt the remaining chocolate with the butter in a bowl over a pan of boiling water, then in a separate bowl whisk the egg whites with the sugar until firm. Fold the yolks into the cooled chocolate and butter mixture, then add the almonds and flour. Finish by carefully folding in the egg white mixture. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5. Take your molds out of the fridge and spoon a little mixture into each one, then push in a cube of the frozen coffee and chocolate mixture. Cover with the rest of the sponge mixture so each ice cube is completely enveloped. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, then remove carefully from the molds while hot. Serve immediately sprinkled with hazelnuts.

I'm also wondering about a replacement for coffee, as I can't stand the flavor most of the time...would tea work here? I know it works in some recipes but not in others, but being the uni student I am I'm not wanting to spend money on something I may not like. :/<br /> <br /> Anyone up for experimenting and posting their results?

Perfect gluten free recipe. Need to use this in a restaurant but no one want to wait 20 minutes for a dessert. Is there a way of pre cooking them and re-heating without going dry?

can you use self raising flour instead of rice flour ?

In your baked chocolate pudding do you have an alternative to use instead of butter. I can have eggs but nothing to do with milk. Your Jamie's in Liverpool is fantastic the lamb ragu was amazing :)

Jamie, Your are doing a great job! I love to seeing your show on T.V. I would like your chocolate pudding recipe, but it won't let me copy it. What do you have for diabetes in deserts for my hubby? Or your best recipes for him. God bless your show and may you get in all our schools in the USA Thanks! Gloria

can you prepare these in advance and then bake them when ready?

21. by jenwicks on Fri 05 Feb 2010 @ 16:09

Hi! This recipe seems great, and I would love to make it in expresso cups, but wouldn't i have to put the cups in a cold oven, in order to keep them from cracking from the heat? Especially if I'm taking them out of the fridge?

thanks!

this looks very nice but is there eney easeyer recipes for this cake

24. by Natalie Peh on Sat 26 Sep 2009 @ 20:27

The sponge bit of the recipe was a bit dry and the middle chocolate bit was not smooth and runny like in the picture. I don't know why. Please let me know if you figure out where I went wrong. Could it be the chocolate I used or a particular technique I used?

25. by nina tasha on Tue 21 Jul 2009 @ 04:57

28. by hello:) on Mon 11 May 2009 @ 16:36

hii, ermm can anyone help me with this..
can you use anything else appart from individual things to put the mixture in
i was thinking like a greese proof tray or tin :S
any help??

29. by rasher on Tue 07 Apr 2009 @ 08:15

I made this in ramekin dishes and it made 50% more sponge mixture than I needed - so factoring in for additional ice cubes this makes 9 ramekins - and even then, they are HUGE! Too much for me as a single portion. Very rich.
Allow space for them to rise too.
Really lovely puds, but not for following a heavy meal - unless I'm just a lightweight, that is!

30. by Ghan\'s on Tue 03 Mar 2009 @ 02:46

This recipe turned out fabulous! We make it as a special Valentine's treat. Some coffee ice cream and crushed hazelnuts really does the trick. Make sure you share, it makes several servings!

Hi from South Africa! Are we seeing you in 2010? I hope so! Bring your family, they will have a blast. We are opening our restaurant in Brooklyn, Pretoria soon - may I use this recipe please? Its delicious and a favorite of our family. We also call them volcano cakes. There is a lot of good food work to be done in SA - maybe when(?) you come here you can share your experience and inspire us?....

Hi Jamie
Can you make the baked chocolate pudding without eggs, if so what can you substitute for that. Also what else could you use instead of the pastry rings, molds and cappuccino cups
