Chocolate Yorkshire puddings

-

Makes 12

50ml light olive oil, for greasing

125g plain flour

100g cocoa powder

½ tsp baking powder

4 eggs

300ml milk

60g sugar

350ml double cream

50g milk chocolate, broken into pieces

50g white chocolate, broken into pieces

12-hole cupcake tray piping bag fitted with a smooth nozzle

Preheat the oven to 230°C/210°C fan/gas mark 8 and liberally grease the cupcake tray with the oil. Sieve the plain flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a large mixing bowl, then whisk in the eggs, followed by the milk, sugar and 100ml of the double cream. Whisk for 1 min until smooth, then transfer to a jug.

Place the prepared oven tray in the oven for 10 mins, then open the oven door and, wearing an oven glove, hold the cupcake tray and pour the mixture into the holes. Return to the oven and close the door, then bake for 15-20 mins until the puddings are puffed up and firm. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

In a large bowl, whip the remaining double cream for 2-3 mins until thickened, but still soft. Place the milk chocolate pieces in a microwavea­ble bowl. Microwave for 1-1½ mins until the chocolate can be stirred smooth. Using a wooden spoon, fold the chocolate into the cream until completely integrated. Transfer the cream mixture to a piping bag fitted with a smooth nozzle, then make a small hole in the Yorkshire puddings and fill each with the cream. Place each pudding on a plate.

Place the white chocolate pieces in a microwavea­ble bowl, then microwave for 1-1½ mins until the chocolate can be stirred smooth. Drizzle the white chocolate over each pudding, and serve.
