Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (high-quality chopped bars)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cubed for melting)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 large egg yolks (adds richness to center)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (fine sugar preferred)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (sifted)

Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in short bursts until completely liquid and glossy.
- Whisk eggs, yolks, and sugar on high speed until the volume doubles and turns pale.
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate into the egg mixture using a spatula to keep air.
- Stir in the flour slowly until no white streaks remain in the dark chocolate batter.
- Fill greased muffin cups halfway and place two fresh raspberries in the center of each.

- Bake at 425°F for 9 minutes until the edges are firm but the centers jiggle.
- Let sit for one minute then invert onto plates and garnish with powdered sugar.
