Serves 6

3 1/2 ounces Vanini dark chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons butter

In a small bowl melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave or over a double boiler. Add the eggs, yolks, sugar, flour, and cayenne pepper and whisk until creamy and well combined.

Pour the batter into six 1/2-cup ramekins and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to 6.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Bake for 8 minutes. The centers will be soft and oozy.

Serve with raspberry sauce, if you like. Recipe below.
