atching Nigella on Food Network, making these beauties sporting her always lovely smile I thought to myself "Come on. That looks too easy to be good." But the more I saw her melting, mixing the chocolate, baking and showing the gooey interior... ooo too good to resist she totally talked me into making it.
So, I did. Followed the recipe with my own little tweaks. And I confess-
I AM SO IN LOVE with this simple, yet UNBELIEVABLY SINFUL, YUMMY dessert, the perfect "molten yet crusty" chocolate souffle, forever gooey inside while the outside was nice and brownie-like! A brilliant recipe and I'm thrilled once again by Nigella's ability to combine deliciousness with simplicity. You can have it with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream to make it even more scrumptious. Despite being a rich decadent dessert, this one scores points on the number of ingredients too. Just 5 ingredients (three additional ones are my own contribution :) and in under 30 minutes you can get everything done from start to finish... isn't that great! My whole house smelled like chocolate while it was in the oven and when it was out I just couldn't stop myself from tasting it burning my tongue in the process.. LOL kiddo and hubby loved it too!

4. In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar, salt, vanilla, coffee and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture.

Yummy yummy holiday recipe Aipi!
This is so much like molten lava cakes. But, I see that the crust is slightly different, so, will surely give this method a try, looks simply drool-worthy.
They look really nice. Probably I would need to make really mini portions, I am petite, I need to take in Nigella's cakes only in miniature form :-)

Was looking for something like this. I am gonna make this and put a scoop of icecream on top...am drooling here. Don't want to leave your blog without looking at all your pics. I mean amazing clicks! :)
Hi there,
iwatched Nigella too and I thought the same thing over to myself...onky sometimes the calories in these sinful desserts simply deter me frm trying them as I knw I can never stop with one and my husband oh Lord, he loves these so much...As it is, in winters, bth of us find zillion reasons to skip gym, and with these beauties on your lap...Shd try them and immediately ht the gym adn work out. They are definitely worth your while I am guessing!!!

Looks so delicious aipi .... been wanting to check your blog but for some weird reasons it was not allowing me to ... finally today I'm able to open .
You are right, they do look sinful but totally wonderful and worth the guilt!
I'm just catching up with emails from before Christmas and New Year now hence my delay appearing here. Thanks for taking part in Forever Nigella!
They look delicious - I'm going to have to make these soon!
I love this recipe!!!!
I tried it out but I used half white chocolate and put each type of chocolate on two sides of the ramekins and took a toothpick and swirled it so it would have a cool effect after I baked it!
that looks extremely decadent and delicious! I can't stop looking at them, they are simply great
I made these last night and they were so easy and SOOOO yummy! Thank you for a fabulous dessert! We ate it with vanilla icecream.
