How to Make Individual Chocolate Volcano Cakes Flourless

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly butter and flour 4 ramekins (6-ounce capacity) or oven-safe mugs.
  3. Melt 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or in a double boiler.
  4. Let the chocolate mixture cool for 10 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar until pale and thick (about 2 minutes).
  6. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
  7. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  8. Gradually add 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  9. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions until just combined.
  10. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  11. Place one Lindt truffle (about 1 ounce) in the center of each ramekin.
  12. Cover each truffle with the remaining batter.
  13. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
  14. Let the cakes cool for 5 minutes in the ramekins before running a knife around the edges.
  15. Invert the cakes onto plates.
  16. Garnish with whipped cream and serve immediately.
