Steps:
- Coat the insides of four 6-ounce ramekins with baking spray and place them in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla bean paste to a bowl. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Sift in the cocoa and flour and fold in with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in the melted butter.
- Divide among the ramekins, then add hot water to the casserole dish, coming halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the edges of the puddings are set but the centers are gooey, about 40 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the heavy cream to a bowl, then use a hand whisk to whip until light and soft peaks form.
- Serve the puddings in their ramekins with dollops of the fresh whipped cream.
CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT BROWNIES
Macadamia Nuts were well-known to the indigenous inhabitants of Australia, and were first discovered by early white settlers in 1828. This now immensely popular Bush Nut is found in many Australian recipes. These Chocolate Macadamia Nut Brownies can be eaten straight away or made up to a week before required. Keep covered in the refrigerator or perhaps, if you want them to still be where you've put them in a week's time, hidden. Adapted from a recipe on the "Australian Women's Weekly" website.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to moderate.
- Grease a deep 19cm-square cake pan, and cover the base with baking paper.
- Combine the butter and chocolate in a pan and stir over a low heat until both have melted.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the sugar and honey.
- Stir in the lightly beaten eggs.
- Sift the flour.
- Add the sifted flour and the nuts and gently fold into the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes - or until the brownies are firm.
- Cool the brownies in the pan, and cut into squares when cold.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate. The darker the chocolate, the richer the flavor will be. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Toast the macadamia nuts. Toasting the macadamia nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and keep their shape.
Conclusion:
These dark chocolate macadamia brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a special celebration. With their rich chocolate flavor and crunchy macadamia nuts, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
