This recipe is from Company's Coming Decadent Desserts cookbook. It is super easy and delicious! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons butter |
1 tablespoon sifted cocoa |
2/3 cup butter (not margarine) |
5 ounces semi-sweet chocolate baking squares |
2 large egg yolks |
2 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups icing sugar |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
black cherry ice cream (optional) or vanilla ice cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. Grease six 3/4 cup ramekins with the 2 tsp of buttr. Coat bottom and sides of each ramekin with cocoa, discarding the excess.
2. Heat the 2/3 cup butter and chocolate in a small heavy saucepan on lowest heat, stirring often, until almost melted. Do not overheat.
3. Remove from heat. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly.
4. Beat egg yolks and whole eggs in medium bowl for about 2 minutes until frothy. Beat in icing sugar on low. Add chocolate mixture and flour. Beat well until thick and glossy.
5. Divide batter among prepared ramekins. Place on baking sheet.
