Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
• 150 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 3 pieces large egg yolks
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 10 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting molds)
• 0 to taste optional powdered sugar or berries (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease 6 small ramekins or metal timbale molds with butter and dust them generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Tap out the excess cocoa and place the molds on a baking tray.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, add the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together over a bain-marie (a bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water), stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to combine. Make sure the chocolate isn’t too hot to prevent scrambling the eggs.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour over the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.

Step 8

Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen them. Invert each timbale onto a dessert plate.

Step 9

Serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or garnished with fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
