Ingredients
Method
Directions
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until well combined and slightly frothy.
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Add the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until just combined.
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
