I tried this tonight but I'd found the recipe in the 'My Thermomix' online magazine from www.ukthermomix.com (issue 2, May 2008).
I didn't have plain chocolate so substituted milk choc with hazelnuts (increased speed at the start for about ten seconds to chop the nuts more finely). I only made half the recipe (only three eggs to hand), and distributed that across four ramekins.
My view was that it was extremely chocolate-y - almost too much so, and was very sweet (probably due to the type of chocolate I used).
So we will have this as a once in a blue moon or an incredibly special occasion dessert!!!
