This afternoon I was going to make fudge, but I didn’t have condensed milk. I could’ve walked back to Market Basket, but I was already there this morning and I really didn’t feel like going back. So instead I attempted Mint Chocolate Pudding Cakes.
My picture… not nearly as nice
I had all the ingredients, and the final description ”The cakes should be like mini volcanoes - cake on the outside and molten lava chocolate on the inside” really sounded appealing. Who doesn’t like molten lava chocolate, and the picture looked fantastic.
I should’ve known. Pictures lie to me. Pictures always lie to me. Everything went really well. The chocolate and butter melted perfectly, the egg yolks beat nicely, everything fit into the ramekins beautifully, and then they went into the oven.
They looked great coming out of the oven, then I realized they didn’t quite fit the description until edges are set but centers look shiny and still move slightly when ramekins are gently shaken, 10-11 minutes. Oops there.
The little cake came out of the ramekins with out any problems, but they were defiantly lacking the molten chocolate center. They taste good, better with ice cream, but they turned out to be Mint Chocolate Brick Cakes. Maybe next time I’ll keep an eye on them better next time.
