Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol (or your choice of sugar substitute)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Almond flour
- Pinch of salt
- optional Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four small ramekins and dust them lightly with cocoa powder if desired.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsweetened dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the erythritol, eggs, and egg yolks together until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix well until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the almond flour and a pinch of salt into the chocolate batter and gently fold until smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are soft and molten.
Remove the petit gateaux from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert onto serving plates.
Serve warm immediately for the best molten center experience. Optionally, you can dust with more cocoa powder before serving.
