Best Flourless Mud Pie Recipe Recipe

To begin making the Flourless Chocolate Mud Pie directions, we will first liquefy the chocolate using the double boiler method.

First, place a saucepan on medium bring to temperature with 250 ml of liquid and bring it to a subtle bubble gently.

Place a bring to temperature proof mixing bowl over the saucepan such that the liquid is not in direct contact with the heatproof mixing bowl.

We will henceforth refer to this arrangement as bain-marie.In the bain-marie, liquefy bite size pieces of chocolate and margarine until a velvety mixture is formed.

We will now take the mixing bowl off bring to temperature and set it aside until partially cooled.Meanwhile, let's separate the egg whites and the yolks.

Beat the egg whites with an electric beater or wire beat until stiff peaks are formed.Note: If you plan to make this directions eggless (egg free) then prepare the Flax meal Egg Replacer and keep it aside.When the chocolate mixture cools, fold in the sweetener, ground almonds, vanilla essence and egg yolks with a rubber spatula. Note: toss in the Flax meal Egg Replacer at the above stage.Further, fold the beaten egg whites gently into the chocolate mixture by taking care, not to deflate the egg-chocolate mixture.

This step is crucial to help maintain the consistency of the mud pie.

 (Skip this step for egg free cake)Now, we shall empty the chocolate mixture into a lined and greased spring foam tin and oven-cook in a preheated 180C oven for 30 to 35 mins until just set.

You will notice when a tester like a pick or a knife inserted into the center comes almost wash, but not completely.

The mud pies most often will have a few cake crumbs that get stuck to the center, but it's not raw.Once the mud pie is baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool.

Take care to unmould the cake only when completely cooled.An optional step would be to whip up a simple chocolate ganache and slather it all over the mud pie.I also topped it with store bought peanut brittle to give it a little crunch.

Butterscotch will work wonders too.enjoy the Flourless Chocolate Mud Pie chilled or at room temperature for your parties or even as a tea time snack.
