Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or ramekins.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until light and slightly frothy.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups or ramekins. The cups should be about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the muffin edges are set but the centers are still soft and jiggly. Do not overbake, as the molten center will solidify.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen them, then invert onto serving plates.
Dust with cocoa powder, if desired, and serve immediately for the signature molten center!
