Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 3 pieces large egg yolks
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting molds)
- to taste optional powdered sugar or berries (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease 6 small ramekins or metal timbale molds with butter and dust them generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Tap out the excess cocoa and place the molds on a baking tray.
In a heatproof bowl, add the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together over a bain-marie (a bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water), stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to combine. Make sure the chocolate isn’t too hot to prevent scrambling the eggs.
Sift the all-purpose flour over the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen them. Invert each timbale onto a dessert plate.
Serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or garnished with fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
