This recipe takes inspiration from the beloved treat, allowing you to recreate that indulgent experience at home.

Instructions

Prepare the oven and moulds

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease 6 small moulds or ramekins with butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder.

Pro tip: Use silicone moulds for easy removal.

Melt chocolate and butter

Place the chopped chocolate and cubed butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Pro tip: Ensure the bowl does not touch the water to prevent overheating.

Mix eggs and sugar

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.

Pro tip: Use an electric mixer for quicker results.

Combine mixtures

Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to maintain the airy texture.

Add flour

Sift the flour over the chocolate mixture and fold in gently until just incorporated.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.

Fill and bake

Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared moulds. Place on a baking tray and bake for 9-10 minutes until the edges are set but the centre remains soft.

Pro tip: Check at 9 minutes to ensure the centre is molten.
