This is really just a very grown-up version of a rich and very dark chocolate pudding. Make it your own with more or less bourbon and espresso, or leave these out entirely if you prefer. If you like your chocolate a little less bitter, reduce the quantity of unsweetened chocolate from five to four ounces. Bake in just about any small oven proof porcelain or glass cup, from espresso or tea cups or coffee mugs to classic souffle ramekins. While you may need only two portions for Valentine’s Day dinner, you won’t regret making the whole recipe to carry you through Valentine’s week.
