- Preheat oven to 160 C / Gas 3.
- Grease 3 to 4 ramekins (about 7.5cm in diameter), then dust liberally with cocoa powder, shaking out any excess.
- Slowly melt the chocolate and butter in a small bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, then take off the heat and stir until smooth.

- Bake for 12 minutes. Serve with cream or ice cream.
