Ingredients

• 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or ramekins.

Step 2

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until light and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups or ramekins. The cups should be about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the muffin edges are set but the centers are still soft and jiggly. Do not overbake, as the molten center will solidify.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen them, then invert onto serving plates.

Step 9

Dust with cocoa powder, if desired, and serve immediately for the signature molten center!
