Ingredients
Butter, cubed and softened for even melting
Sugar free semi sweet chocolate chips
Sugar free powdered sweetener with a fine texture
Large eggs at room temperature
Egg yolks for added richness
Simply Organic Vanilla Flavor or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor
Unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
All purpose flour, measured level
Instructions
Preheat the oven to four hundred twenty five degrees Fahrenheit and generously butter the ramekins, making sure the sides and bottom are well coated
Place the butter and sugar free chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in short intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth and glossy, then set aside to cool slightly
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar free powdered sweetener until pale, thick, and airy
Stir in the vanilla flavor until fully blended
Slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a rubber spatula, working gently to keep the batter light
Sprinkle the cocoa powder and flour over the batter and fold just until combined, avoiding overmixing
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three fourths full
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until the edges are set and the centers remain soft and slightly jiggly
Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to rest briefly before loosening the edges with a butter knife
Invert each cake onto a plate or serve directly from the ramekin and enjoy while warm
Notes
For best results, use room temperature eggs to ensure the batter blends smoothly
Avoid overbaking, as a short extra time in the oven can cause the centers to fully set
Greasing the ramekins thoroughly is essential for easy release and a clean presentation
These cakes are best served immediately while the centers are still molten
Batter can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake, adding a short extra bake time if chilled
