Execution method

For the syrup

  • Put the sugar, water and cocoa in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil until the sugar is well melted.
  • When the syrup starts to boil, remove from the heat and add the chopped couverture, stirring with a whisk until it becomes a smooth and soft mixture.
  • Set aside to cool well.

 For the chocolate pie

  • Preheat the oven to 180ο C in the air.
  • Butter a pan and set it aside.
  • In another bowl put all the ingredients except the vinegar, vanilla, sunflower oil and water. Stir to homogenize.
  • Then make three puddles and add the vinegar, vanilla and sunflower oil to each one. Add the water and stir with a whisk until smooth.
  • Transfer the mixture to our pan and bake in the oven for 25-40 minutes until cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and pierce the chocolate pie so that the syrup that we will throw everywhere goes.
  • Syrup our hot chocolate pie with the cold syrup, pouring it slowly with a ladle.
  • Leave for 30 minutes to syrup.
  • Transfer the chocolate pie to the refrigerator to freeze for 3-4 hours.
  • Cut into pieces and enjoy!
