Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol or favorite low-carb sweetener
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Egg yolks
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly grease four ramekins or muffin molds with butter.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt together using a double boiler method by setting the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth and completely melted, then remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the erythritol, whole eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, gently fold it into the egg mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
Sift the almond flour over the chocolate mixture then fold it in, along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, until the batter is smooth.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for a minute. Carefully invert each petit gateau onto a serving plate.
Serve immediately for that delightful molten center experience. Enjoy your Low Carb Petit Gateau with a dollop of whipped cream or a scattering of fresh berries, if desired.
