Method
For the Chocolate Bombs
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly.
- 2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring in between.

Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, amaretto liqueur, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add in the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until smooth.

Add Dry Ingredients
Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Bake the Bombs
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

Prepare the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
