Moelleux Chocolat Basilic Recipes

MOELLEUX AU CHOCOLAT

Steps:

• For the cakes:
• Butter 6 ramekins and line with a disk of parchment paper, and then butter the parchment. In a double boiler, bowl or saucepan, very gently melt the butter and chocolate together over a water bath. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and ribbony. Beat in the flour, and finally the chocolate mixture. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and chill.
• Just before serving, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake until the top is set, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove. Let sit 5 minutes, before unmolding onto plates. Serve with caramel sauce, if using, or a scoop of ice cream.
• For the caramel sauce:
• Add a spoonful of water to the sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat and boil to caramel, about 5 minutes. Do not stir with a spoon. Swirl the saucepan over the heat until desired color is achieved. Cook's Note: Be careful not to let it get too dark. Stir in the butter to melt (careful it will splatter), then the cream. Add a squirt of lemon juice, to taste.

MOELLEUX CHOCOLAT BASILIC

Steps:

• Mélanger la farine, la poudre d'amande et le sucre dans un plat. Y ajouter l'oeuf battu. Faire fondre 40 g de chocolat (conserver 2 carrés à part, soit environ 10g) au bain marie en remuant régulièrement. Quand il est fondu et lisse, ajouter le beurre coupé en petit dés. Incorporer le mélange chocolat/beurre à l'appareil. Ajouter le basilic finement ciselé. Remplir aux deux tiers de pâte un ramequin beurré. Ajouter sur la pâte un des deux carrés de chocolat non fondu. Couvrir ce carré avec 2 cuillères de pâte. Refaire la même opération avec le deuxième ramequin. Cuire à 210°C (thermostat 7) pendant 8 à 10 minutes. Le moelleux doit être légèrement craquant sur le dessus mais doit "couler" quand on l'ouvre à la cuillère.
