This recipe is thanks to inspiration from a recipe on Confessions of a Mumpreneur. It was a great way to use up our easter chocolate. sam and i are not chocoholics but i love cakes and muffins so this made something sitting in the cupboard going mouldy in to a tin of very tempting little cakes. i made a batch of these in muffin cases but found the best ones were actually the ones i poured in to ramekin dishes and ate with strawberries. yum. it is such a simple recipe. i felt totally uninspired for dinner and found myself gazing at the big broken chocolate easter egg in the cupboard, so i made mud pies as a nice pudding to make up for first course of cheese on toast. I put some of these in the freezer and popped them in the oven when friends came for coffee. they were really yummy heated up.
Gather:
200g chocolate (broken into pieces)
200g butter
3 eggs
75g caster sugar
100g self raising flour
100g chopped brazil nuts (optional)
1. grease a 12-cupcake tin and preheat the oven to 160F
2. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water. Leave until melted then stir together.
3. sift the flour
3. Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat with a whisk for 5 mins, until light and foamy.
4. Add the flour and the melted chocolate mixture and fold in gently with a large spoon.
5. Put the mix in to your cases or dishes and bake for 15mins.
Looks good lady :) Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good idea! There isn't much chocolate left in our house, but I'm definitely going to try making mud pies. And putting them in the freezer is inspired - what a lovely treat to have with coffee. My friends are lucky if they get a dry old digestive x
ReplyDeletei've heated them out of the freezer - but also served them frozen once.. and they were still delicious after only 10minutes of de-frosting!!
