Step 1
Combine butter and chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second pulses, stirring between, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 2
Whisk in sugar and egg until fully combined. Fold in flour and espresso powder until just mixed—don't overstir.
Step 3
Divide batter among 4 ramekins or a microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high for 90 seconds—centers should jiggle slightly.
Step 4
Let cool 1 minute. Run a thin knife around the edge and invert onto a plate, or serve warm from the ramekin.
Step 5
Dust the top with crushed espresso beans or cocoa powder. Serve immediately with a fork.
