Don't miss the recipe, because it is as easy to make as it is addictive.

It's the last week of November and you can't deny that we can't help but get into Christmas mode. Chocolate coulant is an ideal dessert for these dates, not only because it's a completely irresistible chocolatey morsel, but also because it's a simple recipe that you can make in advance and look like a perfect hostess, spending just a few minutes in the oven before serving.

The beauty of coulant is that the chocolate remains liquid in the centre, so it is important to control the baking time for each mould. These mini ceramic cocottes are perfect for this and are also so pretty that you won't have to remove it from the mould to bring it to the table, you will only need to include spoons for everyone who joins in.

And one last idea before the recipe... Are you not the host but just a guest? You'll look great if you bring these ideal mini cocottes filled with delicious chocolate coulant as a gift. A gift that everyone present will surely appreciate.

Ingredients

• 200 gr dark chocolate topping
• 175 gr butter
• 3 whole eggs + 3 yolks
• 60 gr. sugar
• 50 gr. flour

Elaboration

1. We melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl in a bain-marie, remove it and let it cool.
2. In a larger bowl, mix the eggs with the yolks and sugar well. When the chocolate is tempered, add it to the egg mixture and stir well. Add the flour and mix well again.
3. We fill the mini cocottes , cover them and let them rest in the fridge for at least a couple of hours, although I recommend overnight.
4. With the oven preheated to 250 degrees, place the mini cocottes in the oven and bake for about 7 minutes.
5. It will depend on the oven and the mold, but it is easy to see how the outer parts are setting, so if you see that it needs a little more, leave it for a few more minutes under your supervision.
6. Serve freshly made.

This quantity will fill 3 oval mini-cocottes, which would be 6 servings. If you want to take them as a gift, you can freeze the dough in the mini-cocottes and take them out a couple of hours before taking them to the recipient.
