Dark Chocolate Steamed Pudding

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your steamer and prepare a heatproof bowl with a lid. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

2. 2

   In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the milk starts to simmer.

   Tip: Use a candy thermometer for an accurate 115°C (237°F) temperature.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter. Add the chocolate and whisk until smooth.

5. 5

   Gradually pour the milk mixture into the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared heatproof bowl and cover with the lid. Steam for 10 minutes.

   Tip: Be gentle when removing the bowl from the steamer.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
