Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) butter
• 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into chunks
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup granulated white sugar
• 1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 8 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly butter four 4 ounce ramekins.
• Place butter and chocolate in medium glass bowl; microwave on high for about 2 minutes, stirring twice, until butter and chocolate are melted.
• Remove chocolate from microwave and let cool until no longer hot to touch. Add eggs, sugar and 1 tablespoon Irish Cream; beat with electric mixer until foamy. Beat in flour until just combined.
• Pour equal amounts of batter into the ramekins and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until set around the edges and soft in the middle.
• Let stand for 5 minutes, then invert onto 4 small plates. Pour 2 tablespoons of liqueur around each dessert. These are most delicious when served warm.
