Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.

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 (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

3

Whisk Eggs and Sugar

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and frothy.

4

Combine Mixtures

Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine.

5

Add Dry Ingredients

Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the chocolate mixture, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Baking

6

Fill Ramekins

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

7

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.

8

Cool Slightly

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the fondants.

9

Invert and Serve

Invert each ramekin onto a plate, tapping gently to release the fondant. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with fresh berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
