Instructions

22 steps
  1. 1

    To begin making the Flourless Chocolate Mud Pie Recipe, we will first melt the chocolate using the double boiler method

    dark chocolate(115 grams)
  2. 2

    First, place a saucepan on medium heat with 250 ml of water and bring it to a gentle simmer

  3. 3

    Place a heat proof bowl over the saucepan such that the water is not in direct contact with the heatproof bowl

  4. 4

    We will henceforth refer to this arrangement as bain-marie

  5. 5

    In the bain-marie, melt bite size pieces of chocolate and butter until a smooth mixture is formed

    dark chocolate(115 grams)butter (unsalted)(65 grams)
  6. 6

    We will now take the bowl off heat and set it aside until partially cooled

  7. 7

    Meanwhile, let's separate the egg whites and the yolks

  8. 8

    Beat the egg whites with an electric beater or wire whisk until stiff peaks are formed

  9. 9

    Note: If you plan to make this recipe eggless (egg free) then prepare the Flax meal Egg Replacer and keep it aside

    almond meal (badam powder)(50 grams)whole eggs - (or flax meal egg replacer)(3)
  10. 10

    When the chocolate mixture cools, fold in the sugar, ground almonds, vanilla essence and egg yolks with a rubber spatula

    dark chocolate(115 grams)caster sugar(65 grams)vanilla extract(1/2 teaspoon)almond meal (badam powder)(50 grams)
  11. 11

    Note: Add the Flax meal Egg Replacer at the above stage

    almond meal (badam powder)(50 grams)whole eggs - (or flax meal egg replacer)(3)
  12. 12

    Further, fold the beaten egg whites gently into the chocolate mixture by taking care, not to deflate the egg-chocolate mixture

    dark chocolate(115 grams)
  13. 13

    This step is crucial to help maintain the consistency of the mud pie

  14. 14

    (Skip this step for egg free cake)Now, we shall pour the chocolate mixture into a lined and greased spring foam tin and bake in a preheated 180C oven for 30 to 35 minutes until just set

    dark chocolate(115 grams)
  15. 15

    You will notice when a tester like a pick or a knife inserted into the center comes almost clean, but not completely

  16. 16

    The mud pies most often will have a few cake crumbs that get stuck to the center, but it's not raw

  17. 17

    Once the mud pie is baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool

  18. 18

    Take care to unmould the cake only when completely cooled

  19. 19

    An optional step would be to whip up a simple chocolate ganache and slather it all over the mud pie

    dark chocolate(115 grams)chikki (peanut brittle) - optional(1 tablespoon)
  20. 20

    I also topped it with store bought peanut brittle to give it a little crunch

  21. 21

    Butterscotch will work wonders too

    butter (unsalted)(65 grams)
  22. 22

    Serve the Flourless Chocolate Mud Pie chilled or at room temperature for your parties or even as a tea time snack

    dark chocolate(115 grams)
