Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 125 grams dark chocolate
  • 125 grams sugar
  • 60 grams butter
  • 3 medium eggs (separated)

Method

  1. Pre heat the oven to 170 fan bake. 
  2. Melt the chocolate and the butter together ( I use a double boiler ). 
  3. While its melting whisk the whites until stiff. Once the chocolate and butter has melted stir in the sugar then the egg yokes very quickly, as the chocolate starts to set. Then fold in the egg whites slowly until all mixed in. 
  4. Then pour into a flan dish. You want something quite shallow as it doesn't really rise. Don't worry about greasing the dish as its best straight out of the oven warm! 
  5. Bake for about 30mins depending on your oven. you want the knife to come out of the middle only just clean as it will keep cooking once out because you serve it in the dish. soft in the middle crunchy on the outside!
