Name: Warm Chocolate Cakes with Frangelico Ice Cream
Yield: Makes 6 Cakes
Ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter; 8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped; 5 large eggs; 5 large egg yolks; 1/2 cup sugar; 1/2 cup all purpose flour; Frangelico Ice Cream

"When my daughter and son-in-law took me to Bridges in nearby Danville for my birthday, they told me the restaurant was in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire," says Merrybell Loesel of Walnut Creek, California. "I was even more impressed by dessert than I was by the restaurant's claim to fame—the chocolate pudding cake defies description."

These individual cakes have a soft, pudding-like center. If you're short on time, substitute purchased vanilla or coffee ice cream: Soften it, and stir in some Frangelico—a hazelnut liqueur made in Italy—before serving.
