I had to bake for 30 minutes, and it was smooth and flat (but no crisp top). It tasted like a rich warm chocolate pudding, much like the incredible hot chocolate "drink" I enjoyed in Spain. And just like in Spain, my husband who "only wanted a taste" ended up eating an entire one for himself. If you are dining with someone less gluttonous, this recipe could serve 6-8.

I'm quite sure, as you surmised, that proper volume of the egg mixture was not achieved by using a hand mixer. The final dessert should produce a slightly puffed and smooth top (sometimes a crack sneaks in - that's what whipped cream is for:-)) - much as described in the photo from The Essence of Chocolate. ..and the desired textural layering combined with an incredibly rich and smooth mouthfeel as one digs deeper into the intensely chocolate depths of their cup - never dry. I hope your next chocolate baking adventure will prove to be a rewarding one.

My dome top cracked too and I used a skewer test to check how far down was the gooey stuff. Hi Kelli, I think I left my chocolate cups in there for 5 minutes longer.

I'm sure it would have had a much better outcome having had the whisk attachment! But I couldn't help but giggle a little, thinking about all of our successful attempts at new recipes recently ;) At least you made something...more than I can say!
