Ingredients

100 g (3 1/2oz) unsalted butter, chopped, plus extra for greasing
125 g (4oz) good-quality plain chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped
2 medium eggs
2 medium egg yolks
40 g (1 1/2oz) caster sugar
40 g (1 1/2oz) plain flour
4-8 squares of caramel-centre chocolate
Crème fraîche, to serve

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Grease four 200ml (7fl oz) ramekins.
2. Step 2
  Melt the plain chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Leave to cool for 5min.
3. Step 3
  Meanwhile, put the whole eggs, egg yolks and caster sugar into a large bowl and whisk with an electric hand-whisk for 5-6min until moussey and thick. Sift the flour over the mixture, then fold it in using a large metal spoon. Next, fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Spoon into the prepared ramekins and gently push 1-2 pieces of caramel chocolate in to the top of each pudding.
4. Step 4
  Put the ramekins on to a baking sheet and bake the puddings for 8-10mins or until slightly risen and just firm to the touch. Serve immediately with a dollop of crème fraîche.
