Chocolate Coulant
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 115 grams of covertures chocolate
- 75 grams of butter
- 75 grams of sugar
- 75 grams of flour

- Add the sifted flour, pouring it through a strainer and shaking it to incorporate air, and stir until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
- Grease some metal flans with a little butter inside and sprinkle with cocoa powder, shaking well to cover the entire surface and remove excess. We fill the flans with the mixture and hit them a few times, letting them fall against the table so that they settle well.
- We put them in the fridge for 12 hours. We put the coolants in the oven preheated to 225º for approximately 8 minutes. We take out, unmold passing a knife around and serve immediately; we can do it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Three layer chocolate cake

- 150 grams of milk chocolate
- 150 grams of white chocolate

- For each layer we use 250 ml of cream, 250 ml of milk, 150 grams of chocolate, 40 grams of sugar and 1 sachet of curd.
- We start with the white chocolate layer. Put a little of the milk in a glass and dissolve the curd envelope in it. Put the rest of the milk, cream and sugar in a saucepan. When it starts to boil, add the chocolate and stir until melted. Add the curd dissolved in the milk and let it boil over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the mixture over the biscuit base.
- We repeat the process in the same way with the milk chocolate, and pour it on top of the white chocolate layer.
