I'm a bit light on outfit posts thanks to the recent snowstorms so I thought I would re-share this recipe for Nigella Lawson's Chocohotopots that I first posted back in 2012. Chocohotopots have been one of my favorite desserts for as long as I can remember. It's simple, quick and the perfect portion. I've introduced it to quite a few friends over the years and I even brought my own ramekins when I visited a friend in DC so we could make them. As I'm sure you've seen on my Instagram, I make them quite often!



Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter (I'm lazy and use salted and it tastes just fine)
• 4 ounces (1/2 cup) semisweet chocolate, with 60 percent cocoa solids
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup superfine sugar (again, I'm lazy so I use regular sugar)
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Special equipment: 4 (2/3 to 1-cup capacity) ramekins

Directions

1. Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
2. Butter the ramekins (not from the full stick) or use non-stick cooking spray.
3. Melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter together, then set aside to cool a little.
4. Mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter/chocolate mixture. 
5. Divide the mixture between the 4 buttered ramekins. 
6. Bake for 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.
7. Let cool and enjoy!!! :D

Some more looks at the finished product because who doesn't love a good Instagram?
