These. Are . Simply. Glorious.
This is an easy and quick chocolate recipe perfect for those days when you're craving a decadent treat.
Little pots of deliciousness. Utterly sublime in flavour and texture and they could not be more simple to rustle up. And they are naturally GLUTEN FREE too. We serve them with a Lismore Marmalade and Mascarpone cream.
They are truly sensational. Whether you have or have not ever made a desert before this is your moment to simply shine. They taste like you've spent hours on them but the hardest part is the 45-minute wait for them to come out of the oven... don't be tempted to turn up the oven.
