Molten Chocolate Cakes with D.S. Chocolates Mint Fudge Sauce                  Print

These cakes are decadent, rich and every chocolate lover's ultimate dessert. They are so simple and yet very elegant. I make them for my guys with D.S. Chocolate's warmed Mint Fudge Sauce, but they are delicious with any of my chocolate sauces. 

Ingredients:
5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
Vanilla ice cream

Equipment:
6 3/4 cup ramekins; or custard cups 

 
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until melted. Cool slightly. Whisk eggs and egg yolks in large bowl to blend. Whisk in sugar, then chocolate mixture and flour. Pour batter into dishes, dividing equally.

Bake cakes until sides are set but center remains soft and runny, about 11 minutes. While cakes are baking warm one of D.S. Chocolate's sauces in a pan of simmering water or microwave on high at 20 - 25 second intervals until warm. Remove cakes from oven and run a small knife around edges to loosen. Immediately turn cakes out onto plates. Spoon warm fudge sauce around cakes. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Cakes can be assembled one day ahead, covered and refrigerated. Bake according to directions above lengthening the baking time up to 14 minutes.
