Chocolate ricotta pudding

From: gourmettraveller.com.au Serves 2 - 4

120 gm firm ricotta
120 gm dark chocolate (65% cocoa solids), melted, plus extra, grated, to serve
50 ml pouring cream
3 eggs, separated, plus 1 extra eggwhite
40 gm caster sugar
20 gm butter, coarsely chopped
To serve: vanilla ice-cream
Chocolate sauce
180 ml pouring cream
100 gm dark chocolate (65% cocoa solids), finely chopped
Preheat oven to 180C. Combine ricotta, chocolate, cream and yolks in a bowl. Whisk eggwhite and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl to soft peaks (1-2 minutes), gradually add sugar and whisk until glossy (1-2 minutes), then fold into chocolate mixture.

Heat butter in a 22cm-diameter frying pan over low-medium heat, add chocolate mixture and cook until just set around the edges (2-3 minutes). Transfer to oven and bake until centre is just firm to touch (3-4 minutes).

Meanwhile, for chocolate sauce, bring cream to the boil, remove from heat, add chocolate and whisk until smooth and combined. Drizzle onto pudding and serve hot topped with ice-cream dusted with finely grated chocolate.
