Description
A cozy dessert that melts hearts with its warm, gooey chocolate center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder for easy release.
- Combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
- Whisk in the powdered sugar until well combined.
- Add in the eggs and egg yolks, whisking together until everything is nicely incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
- Cool for just 1 minute before carefully flipping onto a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
You can prepare the batter in advance and refrigerate it; just bake it fresh when ready.
