Hello, Lindsey!
Please, be kind to specify with the recipe of STEAMED CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE the percentage of cacao used for the chocolate sauce.
Thank you!
All the Best wishes to you.

Hello Pavel,

The recipe says 85% but I’m sure 70% or above is absolutely fine.

Best wishes

Steamed Chocolate Pudding

Hello, Lindsey!
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Please, accept my apology for the misunderstanding.

The recipe of the pudding itself clearly says: "110g dark cooking chocolate (85%)".

The recipe of the "chocolate sauce" is in need to be revised to specify clearly the percentage of cocoa solids: "225g dark cooking chocolate (55...".
Is it correct that dark chocolate (at least 55 per cent cocoa solids) should be used?

With my Best Regards,
Pavel

Hello,

Not sure why that is but I'll ask the tech people to look at it.

Again I would use 70% or above.

Best
