Ingredients
- 125 g butter (diced plus extra for greasing (see note))
- 60 g caster sugar plus extra for dusting (see note)
- 100 g 70% chocolate broken into pieces
- 3 eggs
- Cream, vanilla ice cream or raspberries to serve (optional)
- You will also need 5x100ml ramekins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Create a double boiler by placing a bowl over a pan of boiling water, ensuring that the base of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in the double boiler, stirring occasionally. Once melted, turn the heat off but leave the chocolate mixture over the heat.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together using an electric whisk, until light and thickened. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, beating constantly.
- Give the mixture a final mix with a spatula to ensure the chocolate is thoroughly combined then divide the mixture evenly between the ramekins.
- Place the ramekins into the oven and bake for 6 minutes then remove and enjoy.
