Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 tsp mint extract
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter 4 ramekins and dust with sugar.
- Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler, then let cool slightly.
- Whisk egg yolks with half the sugar until pale. Stir in melted chocolate and mint extract.
- Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar and beat until stiff.
- Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture in three batches.
- Divide batter into ramekins and smooth tops. Bake for 12-15 minutes until risen.
