This week I have been bundled organizing Pablo’s birthday party (you will see it next week!), so I have not had time to prepare any new recipe … But I wanted to share with you a recipe that you have asked me to publish many times: the chocolate coulant . The dessert was created by Michel Bras, although the recipe I followed is from i-recetas. This was the first cooking blog I read, and this was the first recipe that I succeed (to my surprise. And my relatives’, too). It may seem complicated, but the truth is that this is one of the easiest desserts I know, it can be prepared in advance, and kept months in the freezer. The name, coulant, means “flowing” … you just have to have a look at the pictures to understand why. Please try the recipe, and let me know what you think. Have a nice weekend …
{Chocolate coulant}
Ingredients:
- 8 eggs, medium size
- 150 g sugar
- 150 g butter
- 250 g dark chocolate
- 125 g flour
- 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions:
- Beat eggs and sugar
- Melt chocolate and butter (in the microwave, or using a double boiler)
- Add butter and chocolate to the egg mixture, and mix well. Please be careful that the chocolate or butter are not too hot before adding them
- Add flour, and cocoa powder. Mix until combined
- Grease 18 small disposable molds, and sift some cocoa powder on them. Fill the molds with the chocolate mixture (1/2 to 3/4 capacity)
- Freeze for at least one hour
- Preheat oven to 360 ºF, and bake for 12 minutes. (will depend on how fluid you like it)
- Cut the disposable mold carefully, and serve inmediately, ideally with a vanilla icecream scoop.

Hello!
Great recipe, I’d love to try it, but can you use something else instead of disposable molds? Love from Germany
Hola, Sandra 🙂
Me disponía a preparar coulants con las minicocottes que gané gracias a ti y a Le Creuset y quería decirte que no sabes lo bien que me viene que escribas las recetas también en Inglés. Estoy aprendiendo un montón y me viene genial para traducir mis recetas del blog. ¡Incluso para los proyectos de mi carrera relacionados con la cocina! (Estudio Filología Inglesa). Te tengo como referencia y database para las traducciones 🙂
Ya te contaré qué tal los coulants 😉
Besos,
Ana
Der Artikel erinnert mich an meinen Freund
Sebastian. Der hat auch alle Tage über Zeug wie Lineartechnik, Lineartechnik oder auch Chocolate coulant, wovon ihr hier schreibt, rumgeflachst.
Ich werde ihm diesen lesenswerten Post mal mailen. Wollt
ich nur mal loswerden. Der Blog-Post war sehr gut und hat mich an früher erinnert.
