Description
A rich and indulgent dessert with a gooey chocolate center that flows out when you cut into it.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
- Gently fold in the flour, vanilla extract, and salt until just mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is soft.
- Let them cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates.
- Serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Be careful not to overbake, as the center should remain liquid.
- These can be prepared in advance and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
- For an extra chocolatey experience, you can add a piece of chocolate in the center before baking.
