Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon red wine
• 4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet baking chocolate
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of two 6-ounce ramekins.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and whisk in wine and vanilla. Whisk in powdered sugar and ginger until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Whisk in eggs and egg yolk. Pour mixture into the prepared ramekins.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until sides are firm and centers are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 minute, then loosen edges with a knife and invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. Serve immediately.
