Yield: 6 large servings

Ingredients:
• 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs + 2 egg yolks
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (85g) extra chocolate chunks (for that molten center)

How to make it:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and grease 6 ramekins or oven-safe dessert cups.
  2. Melt chocolate chips and butter together until smooth and glossy (microwave in short bursts or use a double boiler).
  3. Whisk in sugar until fully combined, then add eggs and egg yolks, mixing until thick and silky.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract, flour, and salt just until combined—don’t overmix.
  5. Divide batter into the prepared cups, then press a few extra chocolate chunks into the center of each for that gooey core.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.
  7. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then serve warm for that perfect molten, creamy texture.

Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for the ultimate chocolate overload experience.
