Ingredients
  

Chocolate and Batter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate (60% cocoa or higher)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice blend
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Equipment

  • ramekins
  • Mixing bowls
  • microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Baking Process
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins and dust lightly with flour.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, whole eggs, and egg yolks until pale and fluffy.
  4. Gradually mix the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Add pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice; stir until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the flour until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  6. Divide the batter among prepared ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are firm but centers jiggle slightly.
  7. Carefully transfer to plates and serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream.
