Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Grease 4 soufflé dishes or heatproof ramekins with butter, then dust them with cocoa powder and set aside.

Melt Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bain-marie), melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Egg Mixture

In another bowl, whisk the whole eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar with a hand whisk until light and thick (about 2-3 minutes).

Combine & Bake

Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then add the flour and a pinch of salt. Mix just until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. They are ready when the edges are set but the center is still wobbly.

Serve

Remove from the oven, let them cool in the ramekins for 1-2 minutes, then carefully invert onto a plate. Serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar, with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.

Extra Tips

► Don't overbake the fondant, otherwise the center won't be gooey! The edges should be firm, and the center still wobbly.

► Before serving, dust with a little powdered sugar, or serve with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.

► Use high-quality dark chocolate, as this gives the dessert its true character and depth.
