Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 100 g Dark chocolate
  • 5 tablespoons Butter For greasing the ramekins
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 3.5 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • to taste Powdered sugar For dusting before serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Grease three 6oz ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. Refrigerate to firm.
  3. Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl with the butter over a gentle double boiler. Melt until glossy and remove from heat to cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and thick.
  5. Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring to combine. Sift in the flour and fold gently.
Baking
  1. Fill the prepared ramekins about 80% full with the batter.
  2. Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains molten.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and optionally with cream or ice cream.

Notes

Success lies in timing. Do not overbake to keep the center molten. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven.
