Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol or favorite low-carb sweetener
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Egg yolks
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly grease four ramekins or muffin molds with butter.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt together using a double boiler method by setting the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth and completely melted, then remove from heat.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the erythritol, whole eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, gently fold it into the egg mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 5
Sift the almond flour over the chocolate mixture then fold it in, along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, until the batter is smooth.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them sit for a minute. Carefully invert each petit gateau onto a serving plate.
Step 9
Serve immediately for that delightful molten center experience. Enjoy your Low Carb Petit Gateau with a dollop of whipped cream or a scattering of fresh berries, if desired.
