Chilli Chocolate Fool

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Use an oven thermometer for accurate temperature reading.

2. 2

   Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.

   Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

3. 3

   In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, and baking powder. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until smooth.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

   Tip: The mixture should be smooth and glossy.

6. 6

   Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

7. 7

   Pour the mixture into small individual serving cups or ramekins.

8. 8

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly jiggly.

9. 9

   Allow the desserts to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

   Tip: This will help the desserts set and become creamy.
