Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup butter
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate morsels
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso or instant coffee granules
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Grease 6 (6-oz.) ramekins or individual souffle dishes with 1 Tbsp. butter.
  2. Microwave 1 cup butter and chocolate morsels in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 2 minutes or until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, whisking at 1-minute intervals.
  3. Beat egg yolks and eggs at medium speed with an electric mixer 1 minute. Gradually add chocolate mixture, beating at low speed until well blended.
  4. Sift together sugar and next 3 ingredients. Gradually whisk sugar mixture into chocolate mixture until well blended. Divide batter among prepared ramekins. Place ramekins in a 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Sprinkle center of batter in ramekins with chopped mints. Press mints into batter gently just until submerged.
  5. Bake at 425° for 16 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into cakes registers 165°. Remove from oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Run a knife around outer edge of each cake to loosen. Carefully invert cakes onto dessert plates. Garnish, if desired.
