  1. Hi just asked about the flourless chocolate cupcakes. Really delicious. With the problem of getting them out of the pan, should I just use cupcakes papers? Thanks Elaine Morello

  1. I love the flourless chocolate espresso cupcakes. My problem was getting them out of the pan. Spray didnt work. Just remade them using shortening in pans. Any suggestions? Mine made more than 24. Also can they freeze well? Thanks Elaine Morello
     
  2. In the words of George Takai "Oh myyyyy..." These are so chocolatey and lovely; like mini molten lava cakes. I made them to pass out to my school friends and I know they will be impressed. The best part was how insanely easy this was. You can even mix everything into the pot (I melted my chocolate and butter on the stove) so clean up is no big deal. Also, I know the recipe says it makes twelve but I got 24 and only baked them for 7 minutes (my oven cooks everything very fast and I didn't want them to be dry and sad). Try these, you won't regret it.
