Ingredients

 

•    1 bar/60g Guittard 64% Cacao Semisweet Chocolate broken into twelve pieces
•    2 bars/120g Guittard 64% Cacao Semisweet Chocolate broken into pieces
•    1 tbsp Milk or water
•    2 Yolks from large eggs
•    3 Whites from large eggs
•    ⅛  tsp Cream of tartar
•    3/8 cup 75g Sugar
•    Unsalted butter for greasing ramekins + 2 tablespoons sugar

 

Method

 

1) Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease insides of ramekins and swirl with sugar to coat. Stack 2 pieces of chocolate in each ramekin. Place on baking sheet for easy handling. Melt remaining 4 oz (2 bars) chocolate with milk or water. Whisk in egg yolks until smooth and glossy.

2) Place egg whites and cream of tartar in mixer bowl with whisk attachment. Whip at medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue whipping to form soft peaks. Whisk 1/3 of the whites into chocolate mixture to lighten then gently fold into the remaining whites until almost uniform. Divide evenly among ramekins, filling to cover chocolate pieces.

3) Bake about 12-15 minutes or until tops are puffed and crusty.
