Chocolate Pudding Cakes with Guinness Stout
Description
This recipe combines melted butter and molasses with a reduction of Guinness stout, which intensifies the flavor and concentrates sweetness. Chopped dark chocolate along with sugar, vanilla, eggs, and salt are incorporated to form a batter that bakes into individual pudding cakes. Baking until the edges crack ensures a textured crust surrounds a tender, shiny interior that resembles a chocolate pudding.
The stout beer imparts a slightly malty undertone that complements the dark chocolate’s richness. Serving warm emphasizes the contrast of soft pudding center and cakey edges. The dessert pairs well with creamy accompaniments such as whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce, which balance the deep, bittersweet chocolate flavors.
Using smaller ramekins allows portion control and more even cooking; 5 to 7 ramekins typically result from the given quantities. Finishing with a sprinkle of fleur de sel adds a subtle savory touch that enhances flavor contrast.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces butter unsalted
- 3/4 cup Guinness Stout
- 1 Tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 egg large
- pinch kosher salt
- 6 ounces dark chocolate chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350* F. Butter 5-7 ramekins. ( I used 1/2 cup ramekins, and got 7 pudding cakes. If you use larger ramekins, you will have fewer) Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Combine butter and molasses in a small saucepan and melt butter over a low heat, stirring until melted.
- Bring Guinness to a boil over a medium heat until reduced to 1/3 cup. About 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add chocolate, sugar, vanilla and salt to the butter and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Gradually add chocolate mixture and stir until blended. Add Guinness.
- Divide batter evenly between ramekins. Place on a tray on the middle rack of oven.
- Bake until edges start to crack, inside will of course be soft and shiny, about 25 minutes.
- Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream or caramel sauce. Finished them with a sprinkle of fleur de sel if desired.
