Baked Hot Chocolate Recipes

BAKED HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Combine chocolate and butter in a mixing bowl and melt over a double boiler. Combine the eggs and sugar in a separate mixing bowl and warm over double boiler until warm to the touch. Transfer egg mixture to mixer and whip until fluffy. Fold whipped eggs into melted chocolate. Divide evenly into four bake proof dishes and bake at 350° for 17-20 minutes.

BAKED HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange ovenproof coffee cups or mugs or 8-ounce ramekins in a baking or roasting pan.
• Place the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler set over gently simmering water, and whisk occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Stir the eggs and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer then set over the simmering water and stir until warm to the touch. Place the bowl on the stand mixer and, using the whisk attachment, beat for 3 to 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Remove from the mixer, and fold the eggs into the chocolate mixture until it is light and smooth.
• Spoon the batter into the cups. Add enough very hot water to the baking pan to come halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The baked hot chocolates will be done when the tops lose their glossy finish. A wooden skewer inserted in the top will emerge clean, but batter toward the bottom of the cup will still be very moist.
• Carefully remove the cups from the pan. The cakes can be served warm, at room temperature, or covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day. To reheat, bring to room temperature and place in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 5 minutes, or until warm.
• Serve topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
