Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing ramekins
- 2 tablespoons (20g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting ramekins
- 2 ounces (57g) bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), chopped
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (64g) creamy peanut butter (no-stir variety recommended)
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
- Grease and flour two 6-ounce ramekins. Tap out excess flour.
- Combine chocolate and butter in a double boiler (or heatproof bowl set over simmering water). Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
- Gently fold in the peanut butter until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
- In a small saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, without stirring, until it melts and turns amber in color.
- Carefully whisk in the heavy cream and butter. Be careful, as it may splatter. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until smooth.
- Stir in a pinch of sea salt.
- Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1-2 minutes, then invert onto plates. Drizzle with salted caramel and serve immediately.
