Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate melts
- 100 g (3.5 oz) unsalted butter, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 5 heaped tsp smooth peanut butter
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) or 180°C (350°F) fan-forced. Generously grease 5 x 3/4-cup dariole moulds and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk gently until combined. Fold in the flour just until incorporated.
- Spoon batter into moulds until half full. Drop 1 heaped teaspoon of peanut butter in the center of each and press down gently. Cover with remaining batter until moulds are about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 16 minutes, until the tops are set and spring back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and rest for 1 minute.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates. Serve immediately while centers are still molten.
