Ingredients (makes 1 servings)
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the cacao powder, Swerve, salt, baking powder, and optionally espresso powder. Add in the remaining wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Grease a small ramekin and pour all but 2 tablespoons of the batter into the ramekin. Use at least 3/4-cup (180 ml) ramekins, or 1-cup (240 ml) ramekins.
- Place the piece of dark chocolate in the middle and spoon the remaining batter over it to cover.
- Microwave for 1 minute just until the outside is set, it should still wiggle in the middle significantly. If the edges aren’t set cook in 15 second intervals until set.
Tips for cooking in the oven: If you don't have a microwave, I suggest you multiply the batch to make 4 to 8 servings at once. To do that, use 4 to 8 ramekins instead of 1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted)and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let stand for 1-2 minutes before flipping onto a plate to serve. Serve immediately.
