Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher, sugar-free if possible)
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 60 g granulated erythritol
- 30 g almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four ramekins with a little butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated erythritol, almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture, ensuring no lumps. Be careful not to deflate the mixture too much.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter, a third at a time, to maintain as much volume as possible.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are set but the centers still have a slight jiggle.
Let the moelleux cool for 2 minutes before serving warm. You may turn them out onto plates or serve directly in the ramekins.
