  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously grease four ramekins with unsalted butter.
  2. Melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and frothy.
  4. Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg mixture, stirring well.
  5. Gently fold in the flour, finely chopped pistachios, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the greased ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are firm but centers remain soft.
  8. Let cool for one minute before inverting onto plates and dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes

  •  Ensure high-quality chocolate for optimal flavor.
  •  For variations, consider using hazelnuts or almonds instead of pistachios.
  •  Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.
