Oh So Delicious Chocochino Puddings

I do not have a very sweet tooth and try to avoid sugary treats where possible...but...every now and then I see no harm in enjoying a delicious something or other that is just a little bit unhealthy and indulgent!

These sweet little chocochino puddings were on the menu for our special Valentine's meal and oh!  Were they ever so good...{{Smiles}}


Although our original idea was to have a delightful picnic birthday/Valentine's celebration, our plans had to be altered somewhat due to unforseen problems with our cars...  But...we still had a wonderful day, and made some sweet memories!

Now...for an incredibly simple recipe...I know you will enjoy indulging in these delicious chocolate puddings...perhaps you have a special occasion coming up and would like to try something new and scrumptious...

Chocochino Puddings...
 {Recipe Courtesy...Ideas Magazine, September 2014...slightly altered} 

15ml freshly brewed strong coffee, cooled
 85g (90ml) soft butter
85g (95ml) castor sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
85g (155ml) self-raising flour, sifted
50g dark chocolate, chopped
30ml cocoa powder, sifted

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.  Beat the butter and sugar together until light.  Add the eggs, one at a time.  Add the coffee and beat well.  Fold in the sifted flour and the chocolate.  Divide mixture equally between 6 greased ramekins.  
Bake for about 15 minutes until just done...you don't want to dry the puddings out.
Just before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.
Serve and and...enjoy!

Chocolate! What girl doesn't love a little chocolate once in a while?!?!

Like you, I don't have a very sweet tooth, and would much rather go for a salty snack. But sometimes I do crave something sweet, and I do so enjoy baking, so usually when I do, I love to give it away :) After a little taste test, of course. {{smiles}}

These look so delicious :) Thank you for sharing the recipe!! Wishing you a wonderful and beautiful upcoming week, dear friend!

Thinking you ever so often!

Much love always,
Libby

We share our love of sweets, dear Kelly-Anne! I figure that life is too short not to enjoy them, but I do in moderation, like you. Your little puddings look oh so tasty and I'm sure that your family loved every bite of them. Yum!!
