Chocolate Dessert
To achieve a decadent and savory dessert, we start by preparing the ramekin dishes, making sure to butter each interior surface. This step is essential to prevent the composition from sticking to the walls of the dish, ensuring that the dessert can be served easily. After we finish with the dishes, we preheat the oven to 195 degrees Celsius, to ensure that the temperature is optimal for baking our preparation.
Next, we will deal with chocolate and butter, the ingredients that will bring an intense and rich flavor to our dessert. So, in a bowl placed over a Bain-Marie, we melt the chocolate together with the butter, continuously stirring with a wooden spoon. It is important to be careful at this stage, as care in the melting process will ensure a homogeneous composition. Once the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture becomes uniform, we let the composition cool for about 10 minutes. This is the ideal time to carry out the next steps.
In a mixing bowl, preferably a tall one with a smaller diameter, we add the eggs, the two yolks, and the sugar. We mix at high speed for about 6 minutes, until the volume of the composition significantly increases. This aeration is essential to achieve a fluffy texture. After obtaining a dense and bright foam, we gradually add the chocolate and butter mixture, mixing at low speed until everything becomes homogeneous.
We continue by incorporating the flour, which we add gradually, in 2-3 stages. It is important to mix it gently with a wooden spoon, by folding, not by stirring, so that we keep the aeration of the composition. In the end, the composition should be completely homogeneous and free of lumps.
Now, with the help of a spoon, we pour the mixture into the previously prepared ramekin dishes, making sure to leave about 2 cm free to the top edge. This step is crucial, as the composition will rise during baking. We place the dishes in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. During this time, the dessert will rise and the surface will crack, creating an appetizing appearance.
Once baked, the desserts can be served either directly from the ramekin dishes or turned out onto a plate, allowing them to cool slightly. As a serving option, we can add an agave syrup on top, crispy almond flakes, or even ice cream, which will contrast perfectly with the warmth of the dessert. Thus, we have a savory dessert, full of flavors, that will surely impress any guest.
