🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Prepare the molds by greasing them generously and dusting with cocoa. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, whisk the whole eggs with sugar and salt for 2-3 minutes until the mixture lightens slightly.

  4. 4

    Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg-sugar mixture using a spatula.

  5. 5

    Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and fold in without overmixing the batter.

  6. 6

    Divide the batter into the prepared ramekins (3/4 full). For an extra gooey center, insert an extra square of chocolate in the center of each.

  7. 7

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bake the ramekins for 9 to 11 minutes. The top should be set but the center still soft.

  8. 8

    Let rest for 1 minute, carefully unmold onto a plate, and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks
  • For an even gooier center, insert a small square of chocolate in the center before baking.
  • Lactose-free variation: replace butter with melted coconut oil.
  • Add a touch of vanilla, cinnamon, or a pinch of sea salt after baking to enhance the flavor.
  • Watch the baking from 8 minutes. One minute too long can cook the center. Use ramekins of the same size.
