Ingredients
- 3 oz sugar-free dark chocolate
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp almond flour (or coconut flour for a nut-free option)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
-
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease two small ramekins with butter or non-stick spray.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar substitute in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Combine the mixtures by folding the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Sift in the almond flour and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
- Cool for 2 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
