Ingredients

  • 125g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
  • 100g castor sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100g self-raising flour
  • 20g cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup Minnies Chocolate Milkshake Syrup, plus extra to serve
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vanilla ice cream, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease 4 ramekins generously and dust with a little extra cocoa.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour, cocoa and salt — just until combined, don't overmix.
  4. Divide half the batter between the ramekins. Spoon a tablespoon of Chocolate Milkshake Syrup into the centre of each, then top with the remaining batter so the syrup is fully covered.
  5. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the tops are set but still soft to the touch. They'll firm up as they cool, so don't overbake.
  6. Rest for 2 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and turn out onto plates.
  7. Spoon over a little warm Chocolate Milkshake Syrup, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and serve immediately.
