- Cute, Practical - Use them for this great recipe!
These are great for a wide variety of uses and in this great red color they are very cute too! Cute, practical and useful - how good can they get!

They are perfect to use for this recipe:

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES

For best results, use a dark baking chocolate with high cocoa butter content (about 30 percent)

12 teaspoons plus 5 tablespoons sugar

8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter

3 large eggs

3 large egg yolks

1 tablespoon all purpose flour

1 quart purchased vanilla bean ice cream

Generously butter eight 3/4-cup ramekin or custard dish. Sprinkle inside of each dish with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar.

Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat.

Using electric mixer, beat eggs, egg yolks, and remaining 5 tablespoons sugar in large bowl until thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes. Fold 1/3 of warm chocolate mixture into egg mixture, then fold in remaining chocolate. Fold in flour.

Divide batter among ramekins or dishes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic; chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place ramekins/dishes on baking sheet. Bake cakes uncovered until edges are puffed and slightly cracked but center 1 inch of each moves slightly when dishes are shaken gently, about 13 minutes.

Top each cake with scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and serve immediately. Makes 8 servings.

Enjoy!

- Individual Ramekins Hold Three Ounces
Le Creuset has redesigned their ramekin line so that there are now attractive ridges encircling the pots rather than the vertical ridges that are usually found on other ramekins. These horizontal ridges make the ramekins very easy-to-handle when placing them in the oven or when removing them. This three-ounce size is very small. Be sure to check your recipe in advance to see what size ramekin is needed. Many recipes vary in terms of size requirements. I have found this size is perfect for most desserts, such as crème brulée, flan, chocolate mousse, or a deep-dish fruit tart.
