Steps

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease four ramekins (200 ml each) with butter.

⏱ 5 min💡 Use ramekins with thick walls for even cooking.

Combine chocolate and butter in the GastroLab bowl.

GastroLab:Install stirring attachment. On touchscreen: select Manual → set 85°C, Speed 1, Time 3 min → press knob to start.

⏱ 3 min💡 Melt gently to avoid burning the chocolate. Stir occasionally during heating.

Remove bowl and let cool slightly. Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract.

⏱ 2 min💡 Add ingredients while chocolate is still warm but not hot.

Blend the mixture until smooth and fully combined.

GastroLab:

Replace stirring attachment with knife. On touchscreen: select Food Processor → set Speed 6, Time 2 min → press knob to start.

⏱ 2 min💡 Ensure eggs are fully incorporated and mixture is homogeneous.

Fold in flour by hand using a spatula (GastroLab off).

⏱ 1 min💡 Fold gently to keep the batter airy. Do not overmix.

Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins.

⏱ 2 min💡 Fill each ramekin about 3/4 full. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 12–14 minutes until edges are firm but center is soft.

⏱ 14 min💡 The center should jiggle slightly when gently shaken; do not overbake.

Remove from oven and let rest 1 minute. Invert onto plates or serve in ramekins.

⏱ 1 min💡 Work quickly while warm. Use a warm plate or spoon to help invert if needed.

Chef's note: Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of raspberry coulis. The molten chocolate center is best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.
