The Irish steamed chocolate pudding is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed in Ireland for many years. It is traditionally served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top. This recipe is relatively easy to make, but requires some patience and a bit of kitchen expertise. The combination of rich chocolate and light, fluffy texture of the pudding is what makes it irresistible for dessert lovers.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler over medium heat.
3.	Whisk egg yolks with 1/2 cup of sugar in a bowl.
4.	Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg yolk and sugar mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
5.	Sift flour over the top and gently fold to combine.
6.	In a separate large bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy, then gradually add remaining sugar while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.
7.	Gently fold the egg white mixture, a third at a time, into the chocolate mixture.
8.	Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce individual ramekins. Cover the tops with a piece of buttered parchment paper.
9.	Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides.
10.	Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chocolate pudding rises to the top of the ramekins and is set beneath the crust.
11.	Let cool for 10 minutes and serve warm.
