Chocolate lava puddings with figs, raspberries and meringue

A decadent chocolate pud oozing with rich sauce and topped with sweet figs, luscious raspberries and crunchy meringue – what a fitting finale to your feast.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp melted unsalted butter, to grease, plus extra 150g, chopped

2 Tbsp caster sugar, to dust

150g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

3 free-range eggs, lightly beaten

3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup plain flour

ON THE DAY

2 fresh figs, cut into thin wedges

125g fresh raspberries

6 mini meringues, crushed

Thickened cream, to serve

Method

  1. Grease 6 x 3⁄4-cup capacity ovenproof ramekins with melted butter and dust with caster sugar to coat insides, discarding excess.

  2. Put chocolate and extra butter in a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.

  3. Put eggs, brown sugar and vanilla in the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high, using whisk attachment, for 3 minutes or until mixture slightly thickens and becomes paler in colour. Pour in warm chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined. Sift in flour then, using a wooden spoon, fold together until just combined. Spoon evenly into ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, label and freeze overnight or up to 1 month ahead.

  4. On the day:

    Preheat oven 200°C. From frozen in ramekins, bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside for 2 minutes to cool slightly. Use a small sharp knife to loosen edges and turn out onto serving plates. Serve scattered with figs, raspberries, crushed meringue and cream on the side.
