Description

Chocolate Sformato is a kind of Italian version of flourless chocolate cake. It’s very easy to put together and can be made as one big cake or small individual cakes like I did.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whole Milk, Divided
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ packages Gelatin, 0.25 Ounce Packet
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 6 ounces, weight Semisweet Chocolate
  • ½ cups Crushed Pecans

Preparation

First and foremost preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.

Now I took a small saucepan and combined milk (save a little milk which would be needed later probably a 1/4 cup), sugar and vanilla and let it simmer until all the sugar dissolved well. Then turn off the heat and leave it to rest.

In a separate bowl or cup mix gelatin and the milk you have saved. Stir it for about 1-2 minutes until you are sure it has mixed completely and then mix it into the sugar mixture. Now add the beaten eggs into to the warm mixture but don’t forget to slowly add the eggs and stir the mixture thoroughly so that eggs don’t get scrambled.

Now this liquid needs to be poured and strained through a thin mesh or cloth to confirm there’s no lumps in it.

While that’s being done melt your chocolate in a double boiler (double boiler is just a fancy word for a bowl placed tightly over a pan or pot of boiling water) and then once the chocolate is melted, slowly mix the liquid mixture into the chocolate making it all smooth.

Then I buttered all my small bowls in which I wanted to serve the dessert and poured the chocolate mixture into them. I then placed them all into a tray and filled the tray with water to about half the height of the bowls. Yes! I also garnished them with coarsely chopped pecans.

Then put the tray into the oven and let it bake for about 40-45 minutes until the sides look firm. Take it out when ready and let it rest for about 30 minutes before serving.
