Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine butter and chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second pulses, stirring between, until fully melted and smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk in sugar and egg until fully combined. Fold in flour and espresso powder until just mixed—don't overstir.

  3. Step 3

    Divide batter among 4 ramekins or a microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high for 90 seconds—centers should jiggle slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Let cool 1 minute. Run a thin knife around the edge and invert onto a plate, or serve warm from the ramekin.

  5. Step 5

    Dust the top with crushed espresso beans or cocoa powder. Serve immediately with a fork.
