Drunken Damson Pudding - Testing

http://www.ireland-guide.com/article/drunken-damson-dessert.7969.html

1 - The flavor of the gin was far too strong. The other possibility might be to mix the damsons with non-alcoholized fruit.

100g (31/2 oz) sugar
8 medium eggs
500g (18oz) 70% dark chocolate, chopped small
250g (9oz) butter
200g (7oz) stoned damsons used to make damson gin

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. 
  2. Butter an 8" shallow pie dish or 8 ramekins.
  3. Whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and creamy. 
  4. In a bain-marie, melt the chocolate and butter, mixing constantly to combine them. 
  5. Whisking constantly, very slowly drizzle the chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until perfectly combined, then add the drained fruit. 
  6. Pour into the baking dish or divide between ramekins ensuring that there is fruit in each one.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes for the pie dish or 6 minutes for the ramekins, until firm to the touch, but still slightly wobbly. The internal temperature in the center should be 170°F for complete doneness. Leave to cool and serve with your favourite cream.
  8. HINT: Resist any temptation to drizzle a little left-over gin over this pudding. It is far too strong and will overwhelm the chocolate and fruit flavours.
