Ingredients

  • 200 g chocolate milk or dark - dairy-free if necessary
  • 150 g butter or dairy-free alternative if necessary
  • 3 large eggs
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 50 g gluten free plain flour
  • 1.5 tsp orange extract you could use the zest of an orange instead or additionally
  • chocolate orange buttons optional - linked in FAQ section

To serve

  • zest of one orange optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180C Fan / 200C. Prepare your ramekins or mini pudding tins by greasing with a little butter.
  • Melt together your dark chocolate and butter in a microwavable dish. Allow to cool briefly.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together your sugar and eggs until frothy.
  • Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the bowl and fold it in.
  • Fold in the flour carefully until combined.
  • Fold in your orange extract (or orange zest if that's what you're using).
  • Fill each of your ramekins or mini pudding tins about half way up, then add a few chocolate orange buttons and then cover with more mixture so they are about 3/4 full.
  • Place in the oven for 13-15 minutes for the ramekins, or about 12 minutes for the mini pudding tins (if you are tipping them out onto a plate).
  • Remove from oven and serve whilst still warm (tip it out onto a plate if you want to - I like them served in the pot though!) with grated orange zest on top and some extra chocolate orange buttons!

Notes

I've tried these with light brown sugar and granulated sugar - both work great too.
Depending on the size of your ramekins this makes 5-8 I find.
You can un-orange these and make them just chocolatey or another flavour!
