Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 100 grams fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
- 100 grams whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and grease a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan or ramekins if making individual portions.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it together with the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until completely smooth, then remove from heat.
In a separate small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar together over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let the cream come to a boil.
Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the melted chocolate and whisk gently until fully combined.
In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
Slowly add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to ensure the eggs don’t scramble. Mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or ramekins. Place the pan or ramekins into a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides (a water bath).
Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the Chocolate Luxury cool in the water bath for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the texture become dense and luxurious.
Serve chilled with fresh raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant finish, if desired.
