Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 units Mint chocolate squares (or Andes mints)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease six ramekins with butter. Lightly dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture becomes pale and frothy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, then slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about two-thirds full. Press one mint chocolate square into the center of each ramekin, making sure it is submerged in the batter.

Step 7

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool for 3-5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen them if necessary.

Step 9

Invert the ramekins onto serving plates to release the cakes. Serve the cakes warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
