| 6 ounces mint chocolate | 1/3 cup all-purpose flour | |
| 3 extra-large free-range eggs plus 3 extra-large free-range egg yolks | Confectioners' sugar, for dusting | |
| 1/2 cup granulated sugar | 6 1/2-ounce ramekins | |
| 13 tablespoons butter, softened, plus extra for greasing |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Whisk the eggs, yolks, and sugar together until pale and mousse-like. Add the softened butter and continue to beat until incorporated. Add in the cooled melted chocolate and whisk together. Fold in the flour.
Butter the base and sides of the ramekins and place a circle of parchment paper in each to prevent the mixture from sticking. Spoon equal amounts into ramekins (to about three-quarters full) and bake for 15 minutes.
Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with creme fraiche.
