Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Pinch of salt
• Butter and cocoa powder (for greasing ramekins)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in powdered sugar until well blended. Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Add Flour: Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.
5. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
6. Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
7. Serve: Let cool for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges to release. Invert onto plates and serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
