It was my Birthday last week. Did you all see the incredible cake Roxana of Roxana's Home Baking made for me (virtually, that is.) She had me drooling for days. And she is right, I usually don't have a cake for my birthday because I'm the last of 3 birthdays in one week. Don't feel sorry for me. I don't suffer. I'm the baker in this house and I can make anything I want, any time I want.
I've had these Chocopots pinned for months. I just hadn't gotten around to making them yet. I know it's weird but sometimes I'm just not in the mood for chocolate (please don't tell anyone I said that.)
All through summer there is so much fresh fruit available I want to take advantage. Blueberries-Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake, Blueberry Muffins, Strawberries-Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothies, Strawberry Hand Pies, Strawberries with Brownies, Strawberries in a sandwich, Blackberries-Blackberry Lemon Bars, Raspberries. Then Apples and we had apple week. Apple Pie Danish, Fried Apples, Brown Sugar Cinnamon Fruit Dip, Quick Apple Crisp, Vanilla Apple Muffins. You get the idea.
But it's fall, and while everyone else is big into pumpkin, I'm going back to my first love-Chocolate.
Chocopots
recipe adapted from Honey and Soy
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter bottom and sides of 4 one cup ramekins.
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler over low heat. (you can probably do this in the microwave but I prefer the stove.) Remove from heat and let cool. Whisk together eggs, sugar and flour until frothy. Pour melted chocolate into egg mixture, stir until smooth and well combined. Spoon mixture into your ramekins.
Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before trying to eat. Caution, the gooey middle will be HOT!
You can make these ahead of time. Prepare ramekins and keep in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Bake for about 23 minutes.
I'll be sharing at a few of these great parties!
