Ingredients
- ½ cup Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butter salted
- 1 ½ tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 yolk
- 4 egg whites
- 2 pinches cream of tartar
- 8 tbsp cold full fat milk
- 3 sugar
- ¼ tsp instant coffee
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- powder sugar to garnish
- cocoa powder to put around the ramekins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spray the ramekins with cooking spray. Brush the sides and the bottom with cocoa powder; cover the bottom of the ramekins and the sides. rotate the ramekins until cocoa powder.
- Place chocolate chips in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Place bowl over a pan of about 2 cups hot water over medium low heat. Do not let water boil or come to a simmer. Don't let the water touch the bottom of the stainless steel mixing bowl.
- Melt butter and the chocolate chips in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour. Whisk until flour is incorporated into butter and mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low.
- Whisk in cold milk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer mixture to bowl with melted chocolate. Add salt, coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix together thoroughly. Add egg yolk to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Leave bowl above the hot (not simmering) water to keep chocolate warm while you whip the egg whites.
- Place 2 egg whites in a mixing bowl; add cream of tartar. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken and a drizzle from the whisk stays on the surface about 1 second before disappearing into the mix, 2 or 3 minutes. Add sugar and whisk in. Whisk in a bit more sugar about 15 seconds. Continue whisking until mixture is about as thick as shaving cream and holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer egg whites to chocolate mixture. Mix until egg whites are thoroughly incorporated into the chocolate, 1 or 2 minutes. Gently fold into the chocolate with a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over. Stop mixing after the egg white disappears. Divide mixture between 4 prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 minutes, sprinkle some powder sugar on top, serve it hot.
