Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate (dairy-free)
- 100 g coconut oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 100 g caster sugar
- 50 g almond flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly grease six individual ramekins with a bit of extra coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil gently, then add the chocolate, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture, combining thoroughly to prevent cooking the eggs with the warmth of the chocolate.
Add the almond flour, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture, gently folding until just combined.
Evenly pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center remains soft.
Remove from oven and let them rest for a minute or two before carefully running a knife around the edges to help release the cakes.
Serve immediately while warm, optionally with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dairy-free vanilla ice cream for an extra touch.
