For the pudding
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
6 eggs, separated
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate, grated
3/4 cup almonds, ground
1 tsp. vanilla
For the sauce
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate, grated
3/4 cup water
6 tsp. unsulated butter
Instructions:
For the pudding
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Cream butter and sugar together until light. Add egg yolks one at the time and beat. Add chocolate, ground almonds and vanilla and mix together. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into the chocolate mixture.
Butter 6-8 individual pudding molds and dust them with powdered sugar. Pour in the chocolate mixture.
Half-fill a deep roasting pan with hot water. Place pudding molds in the pan and put in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes until firm. Cool for a few minutes.
For the sauce
Put grated chocolate and water into a heavy pan. Stir over low heat until you have a smooth mixture. Turn off the heat, add butter and mix.
To assemble
Spoon chocolate sauce into each serving plate. Unmold the puddings into the plate (you may need to use a knife to get them out). Whip cream and spoon on top. Serve.
