Ingredients

  • 14 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • large eggs separated
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • cup sugar 
  • 0.8 cup butter unsalted

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • whisk
  • pot
  • blender
  • plastic wrap
  • ramekin
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Put chocolate and butter in a medium metal bowl and set bowl over (not touching) simmering water in a pot.
  2. Heat until chocolate is almost completely melted; remove from heat, stir until smooth, and set aside.
  3. With a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk egg whites and salt in a bowl until foamy. With mixer still on, slowly rain in sugar and whisk until soft peaks form.
  4. Stir yolks into chocolate mixture until completely blended. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in whites. Divide mixture among 12 small freezer- and ovenproof coffee cups or ramekins (4 oz. each). Cover each cup with plastic wrap and freeze at least 3 hours and up to 2 weeks.
  5. Preheat oven to 32
  6. Set ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet, remove plastic wrap, and bake until puffed, cracked on the edges, and just wet-looking in the center, 30 to 35 minutes.
  7. Let cakes cool 10 minutes before serving.
