Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup baker's sugar (superfine sugar) or regular sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar or sweetened cocoa powder
Peppermint stick ice cream or mint chocolate chip ice cream
Fresh mint leaves

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Using electric mixer, beat eggs, egg yolks, and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add all purpose flour and beat until blended. Add chocolate mixture, peppermint extract, and salt; beat just until incorporated. Divide chocolate mixture among prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on baking sheet. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
Bake cakes until edges are set but centers look shiny and still move slightly when ramekins are gently shaken (tester inserted into centers comes out with wet batter attached), about 11 minutes. Remove cakes from oven; run small knife around each cake to loosen.
Place small plate atop 1 ramekin with pudding cake. Using oven mitts or pot holders, hold plate and ramekin firmly together and invert, allowing cake to settle onto plate. Repeat with remaining cakes. Sprinkle each cake with powdered sugar or sweetened cocoa. Place scoop of ice cream alongside. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.

Tips:

1. Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for good-quality chocolate and fresh mint for the best flavor. 2. Temper the Chocolate: This step ensures a smooth and glossy pudding by preventing it from seizing. 3. Bloom the Gelatin: Soaking the gelatin in cold water before adding it to the hot liquid helps prevent lumps. 4. Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly. 5. Garnish Elegantly: Top the pudding with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
