Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Method

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until pale yellow and slightly thickened.
  3. Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, then sift in the flour and salt, mixing gently until smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into greased ramekins and bake at 425°F for 12-14 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.

Notes

To prevent sticking, dust the greased ramekins with cocoa powder. For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. You can store the leftover batter in the fridge for up to 24 hours; just bring it back to room temperature before baking. Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat! Try garnishing with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
