Method

  1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a mixer until light and frothy. Add the chocolate and mix well. Divide between 6 serving dishes and chill until ready to eat.
  2. Sift the sugar in to a non-stick frying pan. Add the hazelnuts and cook over a medium heat, shaking the pan until the sugar has turned golden brown and the nuts are evenly coated. Tip the nuts onto a tray to cool. Chop the cooled nuts, then sprinkle over the pots. Serve with a dusting of icing sugar.

    Just saw this recipe and wanted to make it tonight. But the recipe is slightly confusing. It says two occasions of adding the sugar, 'Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a mixer' and 'Sift the sugar in to a non-stick frying pan' however only list 70g of golden caster in the ingredients. Does that need to be divided between the two?

    Made these for a special lunch today and they were delicious. I also found the recipe confusing but I decided to use the 70g sugar for the chocolate pot mixture and I just used a couple of tablespoons in the pan with the hazlenuts. This worked fine. I think it's better to use blanched hazlenuts too.
