  This is a guest post from Kirbie's Cravings.
  
  

  If you love chocolate desserts and don’t have much time, make this. This recipe is easy to prep and churns out a chocolate dessert that is ooey gooey and delicious.

  
  The dessert recipe comes from Nigella Lawson. It’s basically like a molten chocolate cake. Intensely chocolate, slightly gooey on the inside. It’s easy to make and ready to eat in a matter of minutes.
  
  I couldn’t stop eating these. The fact that they are easy to make may be a little dangerous. This recipe will definitely be bookmarked on my favorites list.

  Prep time: 10 mins

  Cook time: 12 mins

I filled mine almost all the way full and used 5 of them. They didn’t overflow while baking). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F about half an hour before you want to eat the puddings. And I’d leave cooking them until you’ve finished the main course. It doesn’t matter if there’s no food on the table for 10 minutes; and these do have to be done at the last minute.
  3. So, pour the mixture into the ramekins and put them on a baking sheet in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are firm and cracking slightly and the edges set. Serve immediately and consider providing a pitcher of cold, cold cream for people to pour into their pudding’s hotly deliquescing interior as they
