  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch and granulated sugar. In another medium bowl whisk together eggs and egg yolks.

  • Remove chocolate from heat and whisk in cornstarch mixture, then whisk in egg mixture until well combined. Transfer to a refrigerator until chilled, up to 3 days.

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • Butter six 6-ounce ramekins and coat the insides with granulated sugar, shaking out any excess. Divide chilled batter evenly between ramekins and place ramekins on a baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until cakes are just set (they may still be a little liquid), 12 to 15 minutes.

  • Dust cakes with confectioners' sugar and spoon over olive oil; serve immediately.

I made this tonight for the first time. I had the pleasure of being served this a few weeks ago by a good baker friend of mine & tonight I made this for company. They all enjoyed it. It isn't that difficult to make & it tastes so yummy. I used Lindt 85% dark chocolate & reserved some pieces to garnish along with a scoop of ice cream to top it off.

Not a review but a question I hope someone will answer.....The written instructions direct us to bake these in a 375 degree oven, but if you watch the short video, Laiskonis instructs to bake at 325 degrees. Any clarification on this?

Wonderful and easy recipe to make. My family loved this desert - I will double the batch next time. I just used an 80% dark chocolate I found in my local grocery store and the recipe came out fine.

I found gourmet finishing salts online at http://www.atthemeadow.com/index.htm, including "Tahan n n n n n a Vanilla Flake" version, that looks fantastic.

I made these for valentine's day and it turned out too sweet for my taste and for the rest of my family. I didn't have the Amedei chocolate, but used a 71% dark chocolate from Whole Foods. I don't know if that would make a difference, but I didn't think it would make a huge one.

Turned out so good! . Such an easy recipe to make. Didn't have the chocolate, but substituted Ghiradhelli 75 % dark chocolate and it seemed to work great! I saw him put vanilla infused sea salt on the top with the olive oil. I was curious as to how that tasted but didn't have the sea salt--so I put a pinch of kosher salt and dusted the top with powdered sugar. It was awesome!

Yes, I love the cups. If you find similar ones, make sure they are oven safe.

I was going to ask both of those questions? Who carries Amadei and where did those cups come from? Lovely segment!
