Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Grease four 200ml (7fl oz) ramekins.
Step 2
Melt the plain chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Leave to cool for 5min.
Step 3
Meanwhile, put the whole eggs, egg yolks and caster sugar into a large bowl and whisk with an electric hand-whisk for 5-6min until moussey and thick. Sift the flour over the mixture, then fold it in using a large metal spoon. Next, fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Spoon into the prepared ramekins and gently push 1-2 pieces of caramel chocolate in to the top of each pudding.
Step 4
Put the ramekins on to a baking sheet and bake the puddings for 8-10mins or until slightly risen and just firm to the touch. Serve immediately with a dollop of crème fraîche.
An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
