Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, shaking out the excess.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
  4. Combine the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar blend, then add flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
  5. Fill the prepared ramekins with the batter, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center remains soft.
  7. Cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
