March 18, 2021 - A Book & A Recipe

Brooke County Libraries are excited to share this month's recipe that is great for any time of year. This Baked Hot Chocolate dish was featured in The Apple Orchard by Susan Wiggs.



It’s crucial to use the best quality chocolate you can find. Don’t put anything in this dessert you wouldn’t eat directly. And don’t overbake. You want a delicate crust on top of a warm, silken interior.


9 ounces of dark chocolate semi-sweet chopped

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes

4 eggs

1 / 4 Cup of sugar

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to taste


 

Whisk eggs and sugar together in a mixing bowl, then set the bowl over simmering water and stir constantly until warm to the touch.


Remove from heat. Beat egg mix with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Fold eggs mix into chocolate mix.


Spoon batter into cups.


Add enough hot water to baking pan to come halfway up sides of cups.


Bake until tops lose their glossy finish, about 15 minutes

Serve warm or at room temp with a scoop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
