Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve sweetener
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ¼ bar chocolate**(~6-7 grams 85% dark chocolate)
  • 10 drops liquid vanilla stevia

Instructions

  1. Add butter to a ramekin and microwave for 30 seconds.

  2. Add in cocoa powder, Swerve sweetener, stevia, and cream. Mix well.

  3. Next add in egg yolk and mix well again. Take the small piece of chocolate and break into small pieces. Add to the center of ramekin and push in with finger. 

  4. Microwave for 30 seconds. Let stand for a few minutes and then eat. The middle should be melty and the sides should be cooked. Do not cook for more than 30 seconds. 

  5. ** I used a ¼ of a bar of 85% cacao chocolate that I get at Aldi. See picture in post. If you are substituting another chocolate make sure it is low in carbs. You only need a little, tiny bit. You can also forgo this step completely and it will still be delicious.
