These are truly the perfect decadent dessert. They are wonderfully dark and chocolatey, with just a hint of heat from the Miris Level Lava sauce, that hits you at the back of your palette almost as an afterthought. It's all about the baking time though, which will differ slightly according to the size of the puddings. They continue to cook when out of the oven too. So if in doubt, underbake by a minute or so. This will make them slightly like chocolate fondants or lava cakes and there is nothing wrong with that, am I right?
