Mi-Cuit Chocolate / MiCuit Chocolate with Matcha Green tea


Thanks, Michalak, for this great recipe. Chocolate lovers will be crying with pleasure.
The equation is quite simple: good ingredients + perfect baking = an exquisite mi-cuit chocolate with a melting heart.
I also tried to put a matcha green tea heart inside of it; the combination with chocolate is wonderful.


MI-CUIT CHOCOLATE

The recipe :

Bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa)
1 cup + 1tb
5.6oz
Melt together in a "bain marie"
Butter (European style)
½ cup +
5.3oz
Eggs
5(large)
Beat with a stainless  whisk, then add to the chocolate/butter mixture

Sugar
1 cup
7.1oz
Flower (all purpose)
½ cup
2.4oz
Add and combine

Prepare the batter one day before baking (refrigerate).
Preheat the oven to 375°F before baking.

Step-by-step:

Put butter and chocolate into a bowl and melt in a "bain marie"(put the bowl in a pan halfway full of water). Let it melt in lightly boiling water. Stir together.


Whisk eggs and sugar until "light and fluffy."











Combine the two mixtures together.


Add flour and combine.

Grease ramekins (I used a 4oz ramekin) with melted butter, then pour sugar into it and empty it. The sugar crystals, which don't melt with baking, give a crispiness to the crust, which provides a nice contrast with the softness of the cake.




Divide the batter (which is quite thick) evenly into 10 ramekins and bake in a preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes.
The middle is still very soft.
Put the ramekins on a wire rack for about five minutes before turning it out onto a plate.



For the matcha green tea heart :

  • Melt some white chocolate.
  • Add some matcha powder (until it takes a nice color). 
  • Pour into an silicon mold or an ice tray, let it cool and put in the freezer. 

Pour some batter in the ramekin, put a piece of frozen matcha green tea, cover with more batter and cook, 11 to 12 minutes. (pictures to come)

It is possible to prepare the mi-cuit in advance and warm it up in a microwave 10 seconds before serving.
(-;
The ingredients of this recipe are very simple. Don't forget to choose both a good chocolate and good butter for great results.
The mi-cuit can be served with vanilla ice cream.
For my taste, i like it just plain.
Enjoy!
