Dark Chocolate Puddings with Anis

This dessert is alot better in your mouth than on your hands ... Now the weather is getting cooler, this is a great warmer-upper! HINT- if you flour the bowls, you can let these cool and turn them out. Then you have an interesting snack! Just be sure you watch for the chocolate when you bite in. :o) katrin

whole anis seeds - a teaspoon of
300 gram dark chocolate
250 gram butter
1 espresso coffee / strong

300 gram sugar
6 eggs
150 gram walnuts
200 gram flour

if you have a nut allergy then leave out the nuts, as they supply interesting texture but without you can simply enjoy the chocolate on its own ...

crush anis, add to espresso.
melt chocolate and butter, let cool.
whip eggs and sugar together until fluffy.
sieve in flour, add nuts to chocolate and butter.
pour into 6 small oven proof ramekins.
bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees celsius.
serve warm with creme fraiche or ... orange sorbet?

** BE CAREFUL - THE PUDDING SHOULD BE RUNNY INSIDE - THIS MAY BE V HOT WHEN YOU BITE IN **

enjoy! :o) katrin
