Ingredients

• Unsalted butter, to grease ramekins
• Cocoa powder
• 30ml unsalted butter
• 30ml dark cocoa powder
• 3oz (85 grams) dark chocolate, chopped
• 2.5ml vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 30ml sugar
• Pinch salt
• Pinch cream of tartar

Directions

1. Preheat fan oven 170°C.
2. Grease the 8oz ramekins and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.
3. Melt chocolate with butter on 30sec pulses in the microwave, stiring between each burst until melted and smooth.
4. Stir in vanilla and egg yolks, one at a time.
5. Whisk egg whites, sugar, salt and cream of tartar to stiff peaks (a soft meringue).
6. Fold egg whites into chocolate and place into ramekins.
7. Bake until risen and set, typically 20mins (the recipe can be kept in a fridge for a day and then increase the time to 25mins).
