Ingredients
- 8 ounces high-quality dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 l arge eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar for coulis
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a double boiler, melt 8 ounces of dark chocolate and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Stir until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Fold the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Gently fold in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down, about 5 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
