Health benefits of Moelleux au Chocolat

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

For the cakes
2/3 cup butter, plus more for greasing
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
For the caramel sauce, optional
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cream
Squirt lemon juice, to taste

Instructions

Butter 6 ramekins and line with a disk of parchment paper, and then butter the parchment. In a double boiler, bowl or saucepan, very gently melt the butter and chocolate together over a water bath. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and ribbony. Beat in the flour, and finally the chocolate mixture. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and chill.
Just before serving, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake until the top is set, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove. Let sit 5 minutes, before unmolding onto plates. Serve with caramel sauce, if using, or a scoop of ice cream.
