Ingredients

  • ½ cup 1 stick butter + extra for coating ramekins
  • Cocoa powder for coating ramekins
  • 6 oz chocolate chips or chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ c sugar
  • ¼ c flour
  • tsp salt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a stick of cold butter to coat 6 ramekins or 6 muffin tins with butter. Dump cocoa powder into each, and tilt the ramekin/tin until cocoa coats the entire thing.
  • Create a double boiler on your stove. To do this, place a medium pot on a stove and fill it with water. Bring this water to a boil. Place a glass bowl on top of the pot so that the bottom is heated by the steam but is not touching the water.
  • Melt the butter in the glass bowl. When melted, add the chocolate pieces. Stir together until chocolate is completely melted and combined with the butter.
  • In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to combine eggs, egg yolks, and sugar.
  • Hand mix in chocolate/butter mixture, salt, and flour.
  • Pour into prepared ramekins. Place in the oven and cook for about 9 minutes, until edges are set, but the middle still jiggles when shaken.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest for two minutes before turning onto a plate. Serve with ice cream and raspberries.
