Don’t overbake – The center should remain molten for the perfect gooey texture.
Use high-quality chocolate – The flavor depends on it!
Ramekins prep is key – Grease and dust them well to avoid sticking.
Make ahead – Prepare the batter, pour it into ramekins, and refrigerate. Bake when ready (add 1-2 extra minutes).
