A listmember recently requested recipes for Chocolate desserts. At the
time I had nothing to contribute, but I saw this recipe in a "Bella"
magazine and have received permission to copy it.

Unfortunately, I am allergic to eggs, so if anyone tries the recipe,
could they make me jealous and tell how good they are ??? :-)

Bella Hot Chocolate Puddings

Preparation : 12 minutes,       cooking 25-30 minutes


100g    4oz     plain chocolate;
100g    4oz     butter, softened;
100g    4oz     caster sugar;
3               medium eggs, beaten;
100g    4oz     ground almonds;
100g    4oz     dry white breadcrumbs (*Gluten Free*);
icing sugar to dust;
softly whipped cream to serve (optional).

1. Preheat oven to 190C / 375 F / Gas Mark 5. Lightly grease 6 (150ml /
1/4 pint) ramekin dishes or small heatproof dishes.

2. Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering
water (do not allow the pan to sit in the water). Heat the chocolate for
4 minutes until melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

3. Meanwhile, place the butter in a bowl with the caster sugar and beat
together until creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs. Fold in the
chocolate, almonds and breadcrumbs until thoroughly mixed.

4. Divide the mixture between the dishes and level the surface. Bake for
25-30 minutes, until risen and firm to the touch. Dust with a little
icing sugar. Serve warm, topped with spoonfuls of whipped cream (if
liked).
