Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare four small ramekins by greasing them lightly with butter and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), stirring occasionally until smooth and well-combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the granulated erythritol until fully dissolved in the chocolate-butter mixture.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Sift in the almond flour and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Gently fold everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins onto a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center remains soft and slightly wobbly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
For a true moelleux experience, serve immediately by inverting each ramekin onto a plate or serve directly in the ramekin. Optionally, dust with additional erythritol or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a few berries.
