Chocolate puddings with a liquid chocolate heart, Delicious. The crunchy cake on the outside with soft melted chocolate on the inside. With a hint of cardamom.
These chocolate puddings come from the book allerlekkerste comfort food ("most delicious comfort food") by Janneke Vreugdenhil.
This time my middle son, who thinks he wants to become a cook when he grows up, made the recipe. Delicious. The crunchy cake on the outside with soft melted chocolate on the inside. Superb. Of course, I share the recipe with you.

RECIPE CARD
Equipment
- A conventional oven is used. When using a convection oven (with air fan) decrease the temperature with 30 °F / 20 °C
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate , at least 70% cocoa
- 120 grams butter
- 2 cardamom pods
- 60 grams sugar
- 40 grams flour
- 4 eggs , size L
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
All my recipes are written both in Metric (gram / ml) and US Customary (cups / pounds). Here you can select which type of amount you would like to see.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 430 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius.
- Brush 4 mugs or ramekins with butter and place them on a baking sheet.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces and put it together with the butter in a pan. Melt the chocolate butter on very low heat. Turn off the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- With a mortar, you break the cardamom pods.
- Remove the skins and add 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Rub with the mortar for 1 minute on the cardamom sugar mixture so the flavor will transfer to the sugar.
- Spoon the remaining sugar with the cardamom mixture and mix well.
- Stir the sugar into the melted chocolate.
- Stir the flour into the chocolate.
- Break the eggs and mix all of them with the chocolate mixture. Add the next egg only when the previous one is fully incorporated.
- Sprinkle the salt on the chocolate and mix well.
- Divide the batter between the mugs and bake for 8 minutes in the oven.
- Let them rest for 5 minutes and serve them (the core is still a bit liquid).
