A recipe from a chocolate lover (me!) to all chocolate lovers out there, which is easy to make (or very easy depending on your experience!), using simple ingredients, that will thrill just about anyone who tastes it!!
Ingredients (for 4-6 people, depending on how much they eat!):
125 g butter (+10 g for buttering the pan)
3 eggs (or 2 if you prefer it lighter)
200 g dark chocolate (65% or more)
175 g brown sugar
70 g plain flour
1 pinch of salt
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.
Start melting the butter in a medium-sized casserole and add the chocolate. Then add the sugar, the flour and the salt, mixing well each time so that the mixture has a uniform appearance and consistency*.
Turn off the heat and add the eggs one by one, mixing well each time.
Pour the mixture into a buttered pan (I use a standard 12x25cm one for cakes/breads, which is long and narrow, but you may also use small round individual baking dishes and serve the moelleux directly in them!). Put the pan in the heated oven and bake for 20-25 min. In order to know it has the perfect consistency, just stick a knife in it: the top part should've formed into a thin crust and the knife should come out filled with chocolate.
Leave to cool down just a bit and serve into bowls using a big spoon. The chocolate in the middle will flow like a melting heart (coeur coulant). If you want the moelleux to have a slightly cake-like consistency bake the mixture a couple more minutes. When serving, you can add some fresh cream or some (vanilla) ice cream on each plate!
Bon appétit!
*a small tip: at this point you may add some extra flavor by putting a small quantity of chopped nuts (of any kind) or -for a more American version of it- peanut butter chips!!
