Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425&# 194;°F (220°C). Butter and lightly flour four 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. Melt the unsweetened chocolate squares in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and melted chocolate until well combined.
  4. Add the water and light corn syrup to the chocolate mixture and whisk vigorously until glossy and uniform.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
  7. Let stand for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto dessert plates.
  8. Serve immediately while the center is still molten.
