Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (nut-free)
• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 large Eggs
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Grease 6 small ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring consistently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the melted chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs and sugar, stirring gently with a spatula until well combined.

Step 6

Sift the flour and salt over the chocolate mixture and fold it in gently until there are no lumps.

Step 7

Stir in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the fondants to sit for 1 minute before carefully turning them out onto serving plates.

Step 11

Serve immediately for the best molten lava effect, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, ensuring all ingredients used are nut-free.
