Ingredients:
- 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease 6 ramekins with butter and dust with flour. Shake off any excess flour and place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
- In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy.
- Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth.
- Sift the flour and salt into the batter and whisk until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a plate. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
