The perfect light chocolate dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth, perfect to make when you’re entertaining. Made with just a few basic ingredients; chocolate, pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and eggs. The results are a warm, chocolate treat, somewhere in the middle of a cake and souffle. This is best warm out of the oven, although I did reheat one for my daughter later in the microwave a few seconds and she loved it.

You start by melting the chocolate in the microwave in 45 second intervals.
