Let’s be real – who doesn’t love a warm, gooey chocolate dessert that makes you feel like you’re dining at a fancy restaurant? The best part? You can make this impressive treat right in your own kitchen, and I’m here to spill all the tea on how to nail it perfectly!
Ingredients (serves 4):
– 8 oz dark chocolate (the good stuff, honey!)

Instructions (and yes, I’m holding your hand through this):
1. First things first – preheat that oven to 425°F (220°C). Girl, don’t skip this step! A hot oven is crucial.
1. Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. This prevents sticking, and we don’t want any dessert casualties!
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth and silky (kind of like that expensive hair mask you’ve been eyeing).
1. In a separate bowl, whisk those eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. This is your arm workout for the day, ladies!
1. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture (gently, we’re not making scrambled eggs here!), then sift in the flour.
1. Fill each ramekin halfway, pop a caramel square in the center, then cover with remaining batter.
1. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still jiggly (yes, like a good dance move! 💃)
Here’s the real tea – these babies need to be served immediately! Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of sea salt. When you dig in, that molten chocolate and gooey caramel will make you weak in the knees!
Pro tip: Want to prep ahead? You can make the batter and keep it in the ramekins in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just add an extra minute to the baking time.
