Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (plus extra for centers)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (plus more for greasing)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease 4 ramekins with butter, dust with cocoa powder, and tap out excess.
2. Melt Chocolate & Butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. Mix Batter
- Stir in sugar and flour until combined.
- Add eggs and mix until smooth and glossy.
4. Assemble
- Fill ramekins halfway with batter.
- Add a few extra chocolate pieces in the center.
- Top with remaining batter until 3/4 full.
5. Bake
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 14–16 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain slightly jiggly.
6. Serve
- Let cool for 2–3 minutes.
- Run a knife around edges and invert onto a plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Notes
- Don’t overbake: The center should stay soft and molten.
- Use good chocolate: It directly affects flavor and texture.
- Grease well: Prevents sticking when unmolding.
- Serve immediately: Best enjoyed warm for that lava effect.
