Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup 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 cocoa powder.
- Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and thick.
- Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in flour, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined.
- Distribute the batter among the prepared ramekins, leaving space at the top.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are firm but the center is soft and slightly jiggly.
- Let cool for 1 minute, then invert onto plates and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Don’t overbake to keep the center molten. Grease ramekins well to prevent sticking.
