Prep time: 25 minServes: 4

Pairs with

The chocolate's bitterness and intensity want an equally powerful wine match — Banyuls, Maury or a late-harvest Zinfandel.

Ingredients

  • 200 g dark chocolate (70%)
  • 150 g butter
  • 3 eggs + 3 egg yolks
  • 80 g sugar
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • Butter and cocoa for the moulds
  • Flaky salt
  • Cream or vanilla ice cream

Method

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Butter and cocoa-dust 4 ramekins.
  2. 2Melt chocolate and butter in a bain-marie. Whisk eggs, yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy. Fold in the chocolate mixture and sift in the flour.
  3. 3Divide into the ramekins. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the centre trembles.
  4. 4Rest 1 minute. Invert onto plates. Serve immediately with flaky salt and ice cream.
