Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 100 grams fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
- 100 grams whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and grease a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan or ramekins if making individual portions.
Step 2
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it together with the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until completely smooth, then remove from heat.
Step 3
In a separate small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar together over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let the cream come to a boil.
Step 4
Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the melted chocolate and whisk gently until fully combined.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 6
Slowly add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to ensure the eggs don’t scramble. Mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or ramekins. Place the pan or ramekins into a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides (a water bath).
Step 8
Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Step 9
Remove the dish from the oven and let the Chocolate Luxury cool in the water bath for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the texture become dense and luxurious.
Step 11
Serve chilled with fresh raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant finish, if desired.
