Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Total: 30 mins
Serves:

Ingredients

  • 6 oz semisweet chocolate
  • 2 oz bitter chocolate
  • 1 cup butter, unsalted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • 4 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 6 tbsp corn starch

Topping

  • 10 oz frozen red raspberries , thawed, in heavy syrup
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries
  • 12 cookies pieces, or chocolate pieces; triangular shape
  • 12 sprigs fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Butter sides and bottoms of 12 4-oz. ramekins and set aside. Alternatively, you can use a no-stick cooking spray.

  2. In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, combine semisweet chocolate, bitter chocolate, butter and vanilla.

  3. When butter and chocolate are melted, stir to blend and set aside.

  4. In a large bowl of a mixer, combine eggs, egg yolks and brown sugar. Beat on high for 5-7 minutes or until thick and quadrupled in volume. 

  5. Reduce speed to low and add cornstarch one tablespoon at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition.

  6. Increase speed to high and beat for 5 minutes or until mixture stands in soft peaks.

  7. With a rubber spatula, fold the chocolate into the egg mixture, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl frequently.

  8. Divide batter between prepared ramekins and bake in a preheated 375 degrees oven for 10 minutes. The cake should have a light crusted and a soft center when done.

  9. Remove from oven and cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  10. When ready to serve, run a knife blade around the edges of the cake to separate it from the ramekin. Invert ramekin on a serving plate and lift the ramekin up, leaving the cake in the center of the plate.

Making the topping

  1. Pour thawed raspberries in a blender and puree. Strain and discard seeds.

  2. Ladle raspberry coulis around the cake and garnish with fresh raspberries, cookie/chocolate pieces and mint. Serve.
