Gooey Chocolate Pudding

I have been making this dessert for years.  This dessert is super simple, and I always have all of the ingredients on hand.  The “Wow” factor is big, for something very easy to make.  As with all recipes, I suggest only using the best ingredients.  

Ingredients:

4 1/2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
8 tbsp. butter (1 stick)
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375º on convection. 

In a double boiler add the butter and chocolate.  Stir frequently and make sure they are melted and combined.

Meanwhile, butter and flour 4 one cup ramekins.  

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and flour until just blended.  When the chocolate mixture is melted, gradually whisk together the flour mixture and chocolate.  

Pour the mixture into the ramekins and put them on a baking sheet in the oven.  Bake for 18 minutes, or until the tops are firm and cracking slightly.  You want the edges to be set.  

Serve with freshly whipped cream.
