Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Butter
- 100 grams Low-carb dark chocolate (85% cocoa or more)
- 25 grams Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder, ensuring each is coated evenly.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and low-carb dark chocolate. Set this bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated erythritol until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the eggs. Add the vanilla extract and salt at this stage and mix gently.
Sift in the almond flour and cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture, and fold carefully until everything is just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set but the centre should remain soft.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for about 1 minute, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate.
Serve immediately while still warm to enjoy the indulgent molten center.
