Ingredients

• 230 grams Unsalted butter
• 170 grams Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
• 3 large Eggs
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 25 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 60 grams Mini chocolate chips
• 0 as needed Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a bouchon or muffin pan. If using a silicone pan, place it on a baking sheet for stability.

Step 2

Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well-combined and slightly pale.

Step 4

Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Add the mini chocolate chips and stir just until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared bouchon or muffin pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bouchons to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, lightly dust the tops of the bouchons with powdered sugar before serving.
