How to Make Mean Chef's Bittersweet Molten Chocolate Cakes With Coffee Ice C

  1. Generously butter eight 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups.
  2. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of granulated sugar into each dish.
  3. In a heavy medium saucepan, melt 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter over low heat, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside to slightly cool.
  5. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 4 large eggs, 4 large egg yolks, and 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar until thick, pale yellow, and ribbon-like (about 8 minutes).
  6. Gently fold 1/3 of the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Then, fold in the remaining chocolate mixture until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared soufflé dishes.
  9. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  10. Place the soufflé dishes on a baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and slightly cracked, but the center of each cake still moves slightly when the dish is gently shaken.
  12. Let cool for 1-2 minutes before inverting onto plates.
  13. Top each warm cake with a generous scoop of your favorite coffee ice cream and serve immediately.
