  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tspn kosher salt
  • 1 tspn vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp flour

Instructions

  1. Coat 4 ramekins with softened butter. Sprinkle the granulated sugar inside and coat completely.

  2. Heat heavy cream in a pot until it starts boiling.

  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining chocolate chips and the butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir in between intervals until completely the chocolate is completely melted.

  6. Beat the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a medium bowl until light and frothy.

  7. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then fold in the flour.

  8. Fill the ramekins with half of the batter. Add ½ tablespoon of the ganache in the center, then scoop the remaining batter on top of the ramekins.

  10. Let the cakes cool slightly before inverting onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with berries.
