- Preheat the oven to 150℃ (300 ℉). Place the ramekins in a roasting tin and fill around them with boiled water from the kettle up to about 1cm.
- Bake for 30 minutes for a soft set or 40 minutes for a set fudge like texture.

You can also vary the set of the chocolate pots just as you would with chocolate brownies. If you prefer a soft set like a chocolate fondant, then bake the chocolate pots for less time. Remember that they continue to cook after the are removed from the oven.
