Glad to hear someone else caught Rachael Khoo's program last night.  I haven't seen it before but wow, talk about swoon . . . the Moelleux au chocolat  Recipe here.  http://www.parislovespastry.com/2013/01/moelleux-au-chocolate-chocolate-lava.html

I wondered if Bron's Dulce de Leche  [http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=890.0 maybe similar to the salted caramel injected into the middle.

Cheers TimTam
