Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 80 grams coconut oil
- 60 ml coconut milk
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 40 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and grease four ramekins thoroughly with coconut oil, then lightly dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth, or melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until fully melted.
Remove from heat and stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the eggs.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and add the pinch of salt. Gently fold everything together until there are no visible flour streaks.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft and jiggly.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the luscious, molten center!
