Chocolate Mixture:
- 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Dry Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For Serving:
- Vanilla ice cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a pan or using the microwave in small increments, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the flour to the wet ingredients and whisk to reduce clumps. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter into a greased, oven-safe dish. A 4 ½-inch-wide ramekin works well. You can also divide the batter into two smaller dishes, but note that the baking time will be shorter.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 14-20 minutes, or until the top is just set. Be careful not to overbake.
- Serve: Top with a scoop of ice cream and enjoy your delicious dessert!
Notes
