Ingredients

1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, with 60 percent cocoa solids
2 eggs
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Special equipment: 4 (2/3 to 1-cup capacity) ramekins

Directions

Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.

Butter the ramekins with 1 tablespoon butter.

Either in a microwave or in a bowl suspended over a pan over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter, then set aside to cool a little.

In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the 4 buttered ramekins. Bake for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.

Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve. Make sure to warn people that these desserts will be HOT!

Awesome Dessert!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made theses for my boyfriend and I and we LOVED it! I will definitely make them again, but maybe won't cook them as long... so they will be more gooey. We added ice cream, raspberry sorbetto and a raspberry coulis on top and it was to die for!Read more

Amazing!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was one of the easiest desserts to make! And tasted AMAZING!!! I just served mine with fresh whipped cream and they... were fabulous! I will definitely make these again and again and again and again!!! I followed to recipe exact and I wouldn't change a thing. I do love sweets though and it wasn't as rich as I thought it would be I had no trouble eating my ramekin!!! A definite keeper that will be a staple in our house!Read more

Fantastic and Elegant
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for dessert for a tropical themed Mothers Day Brunch...I added a small scoop of coconut ice cream. The... combination of the ice cream with the molten dark chocolate was fabulous. I will make this again soon and often! Thanks for another winner, Nigella!Read more
