Chocohotopots

Nigella Lawson's children helped her to come up with the name for this ooey-gooey hot dessert, a form of pots de chocolat.

CHOCOHOTOPOTS

makes 4 servings (2/3-1 c ramekins)

1 stick plus 1 tbs unsalted butter
4 oz semisweet chocolate with 60% cocoa solids
2 eggs
3/4 c superfine sugar
3 tbs all-purpose flour

Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to 400 degrees. Butter the ramekins with 1 tbs butter. In a microwave, melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter, then set aside to cool. In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture.Divide the mixture among the 4 buttered ramekins.Bake for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooled and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.

Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve. These desserts will be HOT!
