Method
- Preheat oven to 180* C (350* F) Fan.
- Chop the chocolate couverture into 0.5 cm pieces and transfer to a bowl.
- Add the butter and cover bowl with plastic wrap.
- Microwave for 2 minutes at 800 watts.
- When ready, remove from microwave and stir with a spatula until all of the pieces have melted completely and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the eggs, egg yolk, salt, vanilla extract and icing sugar. (The icing sugar should be sifted first.)
- Stir until all of the ingredients are completely combined and the icing sugar is incorporated fully.
- Add the flour by sifting it over the bowl.
- Gently stir until the flour is incorporated and transfer to a pastry bag.
- Grease 6 individual ramekins (or soufflé dishes) with butter and divide the mixture evenly among them. Make sure to fill each ramekin 2/3 of the way.
- Add 10 g (2 pieces) of white chocolate in the center of each ramekin.
- Transfer ramekins to a baking pan and position on the highest rack in the oven.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- When ready, remove from oven and set them aside for just a few seconds so they can rest. They may seem a little undercooked in the middle. Don’t let this worry you as this is exactly how they should be.
- Unmold moelleux onto serving plates and serve with vanilla ice cream.
