Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture and chocolate liqueur. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.

  4. 4

    Fill Ramekins

    Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve immediately with Heath® Bar Crunch vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
