Molten Chocolate Cakes with Mint Fudge Sauce Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

30 15 45

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups unsalted butter, cubed
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
8 egg yolks
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
CHOCOLATE MINT SAUCE:
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

In a double boiler or metal bowl over hot water, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks and confectioners' sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in flour until well blended. Gradually beat in butter mixture.
Transfer to eight greased 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 15-17 minutes or until a thermometer inserted near the center reads 160° and sides of cakes are set.
Meanwhile, in a double boiler or metal bowl over hot water, melt chocolates; stir until smooth. Whisk in the hot water, corn syrup and extract; remove and keep warm.
Remove cakes from the oven and let stand for 1 minute. Run a knife around edges of ramekins; invert onto dessert plates. Serve with warm chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
