Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 100g unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 100g granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Cocoa powder for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease 6 ramekins and dust with cocoa powder.
- Melt chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
- Fold in orange zest, orange liqueur, and salt. Then gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Sift flour over the batter and fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Let cool for 1 minute, then run a knife around edges and invert onto plates. Serve warm, dusted with cocoa powder if desired.
Tips
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute orange liqueur with 2 tablespoons orange juice.
- These desserts are best served immediately after baking for a molten center.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in microwave for 15 seconds.
