Ingredients

8 oz keto-friendly semi-sweet chocolate (chips or chopped bar)

12 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener or erythritol

4 large eggs

4 large egg yolks


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease 4–6 ramekins with butter and dust lightly with cocoa powder. Place on a baking sheet.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  3. Stir in the sweetener until fully incorporated.
  4. Whisk eggs and egg yolks in a separate bowl. Add to the chocolate mixture and mix gently until smooth.
  5. Divide batter evenly among ramekins, filling about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until edges are set and centers remain soft.
  7. Let rest briefly, run a knife around edges, invert onto plates, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you dislike the cooling sensation of erythritol, try using ½ cup erythritol plus a small amount of concentrated stevia to replace the remaining sweetness.
  • Baking time may vary. Start checking at 14–15 minutes.
  • You can also bake the batter in a greased muffin tin. Reduce baking time accordingly.
  • Batter can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for several days.
