Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons buttersoftened
- 2Tablespoons sugar
- 4oz. bittersweet/semisweet chocolate chipsI used some of each
- 1/2cup unsalted butter – 1 stickcut in four pieces
- 1cup powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2Tablespoon instant coffeegranules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 6Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- powdered sugarfor sifting over the desserts
Instructions
- Using softened butter, generously grease 4 ramekins. Swirl the sugar around each one to coat.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and the 1/2 cup of butter for a minute. Check to see if the chocolate is fully melted and if not, return to the microwave for 30 seconds to finish melting the chocolate chips.
- Add the powdered sugar and stir to incorporate.
- Add the eggs and the egg yolks and stir to incorporate.
- Add the instant coffee and vanilla and stir in.
- The add the flour and the salt, and stir to fully incorporate the flour into the mixture.
- Distribute the batter into the four ramekins.
- Put two cups of water in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place trivet in as well.
- Place three of the ramekins onto the trivet, and then balance the fourth ramekin on top of the other three. Lock the lid and set your toggle to sealing.
- Use manual/pressure cook setting for 9 minutes. When done cooking, use a quick pressure release to rid the pot of the steam.
- Remove the ramekins – careful! They are HOT! Put them on a towel on a table, and then use a small piece of paper towel or a cloth to very gently remove any moisture/condensation that remains on the top of the pudding.
- After the ramekins have cooled for a few minutes, dust with powdered sugar through a mesh strainer or sifter. Serve warm.
