Haven't  posted in a while but this next recipe is worth it's weight in gold.

Gooey Chocolate Pots


They are abolsutely delisious and will get you scraping the pots clean (fab no washing up)!


I first tested out the recipe for a dinner party with friends and lets just say everyone fell silent savouring the awesomeness as they ate and one friend even tried to put her face in the pot to get out  every last bit! 
So for Valentines day and my uni dissertation draft handing in day I decided to treat my self and others to the chocolate delights again!

They are so so simple to make using ingredients you probable have in the cupboards anyway.

You will need:

  • 125g plain chocolate (I used a cheap variety and they tasted fab so with good quality probably will taste even better!)
  • 125g butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 35g plain flour
  • extra butter and flour for the ramekins.
There is no real method for this recipe but easiest to follow these instructions:
  • Break the chocolate up and put it into a microwaveable bowl with the butter and then heat in microwave until melted together.
  • Whilst chocolate and butter is in the microwave put everything else into a mixing bowl and combine together well.
  • Then once chocolate/butter mix is melted pour that into the mixing bowl, stirring it all in with the other ingredients in there already.
And that's it, the mixture is made... Easy peasy.




You can leave that mixture now for a few hours if you want it doesn't really matter or pour into pots straight away.
For the pots I used glass ramekins but as long as there oven proof then thats fine.


Once you are nearly ready to scoff them set the oven to 200.°
Rub the insides of the ramekins with a little butter and dust with flour so the flour sticks to the butter.
 Divide the mixture between  5 ramekins and put them on a baking tray and into the oven the little delights go.....
I usually cook them for about 10 minutes or until I can see the sides slightly cracking and the tops of them still a little squishy (that means the gooey goodness inside is just right).
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Even more yummy served with a little (or a lot) of cream or with some strawberries ( trying to be a little healthy).
They really are amazing, every time I have made them everyone raves about them, one friend even said they were better than the ones she had eaten from shops or restaurants... :) 
So go ahead make your own gooey pots of chocolatey heaven, and try to eat all five pots to your self!
