Chocolate Goo

Chocolate Goo

From Irresistable Feb 2006

Serves 6

4 points per serving

100g plain chocolate, broken in to pieces

2 tbsp. clear honey or golden syrup

1 tbsp. cocoa powder

2 tsp cornflour

Topping:

2 eggs

60g light muscovado sugar

1 tbsp. cocoa powder

2 tsp icing sugar

Preheat the oven to Gas 5/190ºC

Put the chocolate pieces, honey or syrup, coco powder, cornflour and  200ml cold water into a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth.  Divide between 6 ramekins or heatproof glasses.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale, thick and airy.  This will take 405 minutes.  Sift the cocoa powder over and gently fold it in using a large metal spoon so that the air is not lost.

Share the topping between the ramekins.  Stand them on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes.  Remove from the oven, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve immediately.
