Warm Chocolate Puddings Food

WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place four 6- to 8-ounce ovenproof bowls on a baking sheet. Set aside.
• Place chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally just until melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in 2 tablespoons sugar, then egg yolks and vanilla. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Still beating, gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; beat until mixture is stiff and glossy.
• Using a rubber spatula, mix about 1/3 egg-white mixture into chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture just until combined. Divide among bowls. (Puddings can be prepared in advance up to this point; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to 1 day.)
• Bake until tops are puffed and cracked but insides are still quite soft (a toothpick inserted in center will come out gooey), 20 to 25 minutes, or 25 to 30 minutes if puddings were previously refrigerated. Serve, warm or at room temperature (puddings may sink as they cool), topped with ice cream, if desired.

HOT CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat 4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, hot chocolate mix, cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup milk.
• Slowly add half of the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth. Gradually whisk the egg-milk mixture into the remaining hot milk in the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Let the pudding cool slightly, stirring a few times to prevent a skin from forming. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until it has completely cooled and thickened, about 4 hours.
• Before serving, whisk the pudding vigorously until it's smooth and creamy. Spoon it into serving bowls and top with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkling of hot chocolate mix.

• To make the pudding: In a saucepan add the milk, vanilla, and a 1/4 cup sugar. Heat until just boiling. In a bowl mix yolks, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and salt. Add cream to yolk mixture when cream mixture has reached a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat the chocolate in a double-boiler until melted. Place melted chocolate in a large bowl and add warm cream. Mix in diced brioche.
• Pour the mixture into 8 (4-ounce) ramekins coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
• Unmold and serve warm with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and fresh raspberries and mint sprigs.
• Combine water, cream, sugar, and cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Let mixture simmer until liquids thicken. Pass through a fine mesh sieve.

Steps:

• Spray two 6-ounce individual souffle dishes or custard cups with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the bread cubes between the two souffle dishes or cups.
• Combine chocolate, sugar, and milk in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until the chocolate melts; remove from heat. Beat smooth with a wire whisk, if necessary.
• Place egg in a small bowl; gradually stir in the chocolate mixture. Add the orange peel and vanilla. Pour mixture over bread in the two dishes or cups. Press lightly with back of spoon to be sure all bread cubes are moistened. If desired, desserts may be covered and refrigerated for 1 to 2 hours before baking. Uncover before baking.
• Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the tops appear firm and a knife inserted near the centers comes out clean. Cool about 10 minutes; serve warm. Top with sprinkles of powdered sugar or dollops of whipped topping, if desired.

• Separately, whisk the egg whites until they are almost stiff.
• Stir the butter into the melted chocolate and leave to melt, then add the chocolate spread.
• Fold the chocolate into the egg and sugar, then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Be gentle and don't overmix, just fold in until there are no more egg whites sticking out of the mixture.
• Scoop into the dishes and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 12-25 minutes, until risen.
• The tops will be cracked and the centres should still be slightly wobbly, from all the melted chocolate inside!

HOT CHOCOLATE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• First, butter six small ramekin dishes (approximately 5cm (2") deep and 7.5cm (3") wide at the top) and place them onto an oven tray or cookie sheet. You can use bigger ramekins but the puddings will take a little longer to cook.
• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Sift the topping ingredients into a bowl and set aside until needed.
• Now, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and cocoa into a medium sized mixing bowl.
• Add the milk, butter, egg and vanilla and mix well until combined.
• Pour this batter into the ramekins so that it comes about half way up the sides.
• Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
• Now, put the boiling water into a jug and, gently, pour a roughly equal amount over each ramekin, making sure to wet as much of the topping as possible.
• Place the tray of ramekins onto the centre shelf of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until well risen and slightly firm to touch on top.
• Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving with cream.

WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar, the 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, the baking powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir just until blended; spoon the batter evenly into the pan.
• Combine the brown sugar and additional 1/4 cup cocoa powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the batter. Gently pour the boiling water in a zigzag fashion over the top; do not stir. Bake until the top of the pudding is set, about 35 minutes. Cool on a rack at least 30 minutes. Cut into 9 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Tip: Serve this fudgy favorite with a scoop of vanilla or coffee fat-free frozen yogurt; 1/2 cup with each serving will increase the points by 2.
