Ingredients
Method
- Prepare Pistachio Filling:
- In a food processor, blend pistachios, honey, softened butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Add a bit of milk if needed to create a creamy consistency.
- Spoon the filling into small mounds on parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter:
- In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in the microwave), melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Eggs and Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt until thick and pale.
- Combine and Fold:
- Gently mix the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
- Sift in the flour and fold just until combined.
- Assemble the Cakes:
- Fill each ramekin halfway with the batter.
- Place a frozen pistachio filling mound in the center of each, then top with remaining batter, covering the filling completely.
- Bake:
- Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Let rest for 1 minute before inverting onto plates.
- Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle chopped pistachios, and serve immediately while warm and gooey!
