Why is this recipe great? What\u2019s its backstory? <\/h5>\n

Organizing a festive dinner, whether it is for two or for a crowd, requires good planning skills and I strongly believe that any dish that can be prepared in advance is a blessing. This chocolate pudding originates from my native region in northern Italy and I have served it at small family gatherings and at large dinner parties with more than 25 guests. It is cost-effective, low-fat and super easy and it looks and tastes amazing. If cooking for a crowd you can use disposable foil baking moulds, which considerably reduce post party stress disorder.

Serves 6. Takes approx. 20 minutes + 35 minutes in the oven + cooling time<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n

500 cl milk (you can use whole or semi-skimmed milk)
\n6-8 amaretti cookies + some for decoration
\n4 eggs
\n150 gr sugar + 4-5 tablespoons for the caramel
\n3 tablespoons of dark rum
\n30 gr of dark cocoa powder
\n\u00bc cup of strongly brewed espresso<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n

Put 4 to 5 tablespoons of sugar in a small pan and cook at a low heat until you have a nice golden caramel. Pour the caramel in 6 small fire-proof remekins, making sure the the bottom of the ramekins is evenly coated. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Heat up the milk in a small saucepan and then let it cool slightly. Grind the amaretti in a blender or in a mortar and then add them to the milk. Beat the eggs and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until they are light and fluffy, but not too long. Add the milk\/amaretti mix to the eggs, as well the rum, cocoa powder and the coffee. Mix well.<\/p>\n

Pour the mix in the caramel coated ramekins and bake them \u201cau bain-marie\u201d in the oven for ca. 35 minutes. Let the puddings cool completely before putting them in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. The puddings taste even better the day after. Before serving quickly dip the ramekins in warm water and then invert on a small serving plate. Decorate with ground amaretti or a dash of whipped cream.<\/p>\n
