Who doesn't want a super chocolatey dessert with a gooey chocolate centre filled with liqueur?

Adding some liqueur to desserts always adds another layer of flavour and the added sugar always pairs well. Disaronno is one of my favourite liqueur dessert pairings. It's perfect amaretto flavour is especially delicious with dark chocolate. You'll be impressing any chocolate lover with this easy recipe!

What you'll need:

  • 1/4 cup of cold butter

  • 6 ounces of bitter dark chocolate

  • 2 whole eggs

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 1/4 cup of white sugar

  • 3 tbsp of flour

  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp of Disaronno

  • pinch of salt

What you'll do:

Melt butter and chocolate over a double broiler, just until it melts together. (TIP: Easiest make-shift double-broiler, take a saucepan and fill the bottom with about 1/4 of water, make the water come to a boil, when it boils, reduce to medium heat. Take a glass or aluminum bowl, and place it on top of the sauce pan so that it covers all of the opening, add the butter, fold the butter until it is completely melted, add the chocolate, and fold both the butter and the chocolate until they are both melted and combined.)

In a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and salt, on high. Once the mixture is a pale yellow, fold in the chocolate mixture, then add the flour, and fold until combined. Add the vanilla and Disaronno, and fold again.

Prepare two large ramekins or 4 medium ramekins by buttering the inside. Add the chocolate mixture and let stand for 15 mins.

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.

Bake Large ramekins for 13-14 mins and smaller ramekins 11-12 mins. The centre should be still soft and the sides a little browned. (Make Disaronno caramel sea salt sauce - see below)

Let stand for 2-3 mins, place a plat over the ramekin and turn it over. The cake should come out easy and still intact. Drizzle with Disaronno sea salt caramel and Enjoy right away.

COOKING TIPS

#1 

When a recipe asks for celery, add fennel instead. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the elevation of flavour. 

 

#2

Every month add one new spice or marinade to your pantry, and use it at least once a week during that month, buy looking for recipes on-line. This will allow you to not only learn about new spices and flavour combinations but make you much more comfortable with creating your own and experimenting with your dishes.

 

#3

Don't buy prepackaged. Be your own butcher! Buy larger pieces of meat for cheaper and prepare them at home. This will allow you to incorporate more expensive pieces of meat on a weekly budget, experiment with more recipes and save you lots of money!
