Warm Chocolate Puddings Recipes

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.

MARTHA'S WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place four 6- to 8-ounce ovenproof bowls on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place chocolate and butter in a 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.
• In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. With mixer running, gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; beat until mixture is stiff and glossy.
• Using a flexible spatula, fold about a third of 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 refrigerated). Serve warm or at room temperature (puddings will sink as they cool), topped with ice cream, if desired.

HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter the inside of a 1.2 litre pudding bowl and line the base with a disc of buttered greaseproof paper.
• Melt the butter, syrup and sugar in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and egg. Add the cocoa to the flour, then tip this mixture into the pan with the cinnamon and soda.
• Pour the mixture into the pudding bowl, cover tightly with foil and steam for 11⁄4 hours. Just before the end, heat the sauce ingredients until melted, stirring all the time.
• Turn the pudding out (run a knife around the inside of the bowl if necessary) and discard the paper disc. Pour the sauce over the top and serve immediately.

WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks and whisk the mixture until combined. Whisk in the milk, bring the liquid to a boil over moderate heat. Continue to simmer and whisk until thickened-about 1 minute. Pour the mixture into a bowl and whisk in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Divide the pudding among 4 stemmed glasses and garnish with the whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Serve garnished or accompanied by cookies.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE-BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine milk and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and mixture is hot, about 5 minutes.
• Mix sugar, flour, and salt together in a bowl. Add some of the hot liquid to the dry ingredients; mix well. Pour dry ingredients into the double boiler and stir well. Cover and cook over a rolling boil, stirring often, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Pour some of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the double boiler and whisk to combine. Whisk in butter and vanilla.
• Line the bottom of a serving bowl with wafer cookies. Pour in some of the pudding to cover and top with sliced bananas. Repeat layers until all of the pudding is gone, ending with bananas on top.

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.

HOT CHOCOLATE PUDDING

• In heavy saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt.
• gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
• Cook, whisking constantly, over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until boiling and thickened.
• Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla.
• Divide among custard cups or dessert dishes.
• Let cool to lukewarm or serve chilled.

WARM CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. and generously butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan.
• Make frosting:
• Chop chocolate. In a small heavy saucepan bring jam, cream, and chocolate to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Pour frosting into cake pan.
• Make cake batter:
• In a bowl whisk together boiling water and cocoa powder until smooth and whisk in milk, vanilla, and jam. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy and add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Into another bowl sift together flour, baking soda, and salt and add to egg mixture in batches alternately with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating well after each addition.
• Pour batter evenly over frosting mixture and bake in middle of oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted into cake comes out clean (frosting on bottom will still be liquid). Cool cake slightly in pan on a rack, 10 to 20 minutes. Cake may be made 1 day ahead, cooled completely in pan and left in pan, covered, at room temperature. Reheat cake, uncovered, at 350°F. 10 to 15 minutes.
• Run a thin knife around edge of pan and twist pan gently back and forth on a flat surface to loosen cake. Invert a cake plate with a slight lip over cake pan and, holding pan and plate together with both hands, invert cake onto plate. Frosting will cover cake and run onto plate.
• Serve cake garnished with raspberries.
