Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams caster sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 pieces large egg yolks
• 50 grams plain flour
• 1 tablespoon soft butter (for greasing)
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Place a baking tray inside the oven to heat.

Step 2

Grease four individual ramekins with the soft butter and lightly dust them with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess. This ensures the chocohotopots won’t stick.

Step 3

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add it to a heatproof bowl along with the unsalted butter. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) and gently melt, stirring occasionally. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, large eggs, and egg yolks until thick, pale, and creamy. This will take a few minutes of vigorous whisking or using an electric mixer on high speed.

Step 5

Pour the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, gently folding it together with a spatula until fully combined.

Step 6

Sift the plain flour into the mixture and fold it in gently, ensuring there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Place the filled ramekins on the preheated baking tray in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The tops should be set and slightly cracked, but the centers should remain gooey and molten.

Step 9

Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them sit for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chocohotopots warm with a dusting of cocoa powder or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
