Chef tips

💡Grease ramekins extremely well and dust with cocoa — sticking is the number one way this recipe fails

💡10 minutes exactly — longer and the center sets, shorter and the outside is raw. Time it precisely.

💡Invert immediately after 1 minute rest — waiting longer sets the lava center and you lose the whole effect
