Ive been trying to perfect them. I made them at thanksgiving and while they turned out great, I didnt quite get the rise I was hoping for. I think I didnt fill the ramekins enough.

I didnt get to take pics because as soon as I placed them on the dining table everyone attacked them. Which is a good sign lol.

I want to make them again for Christmas but want to practice some more. Will post pics later if I make them.

Has anyone here made them before? Any tips?

always use a water bath, even if your recipe doesn't mention it

Interesting. I havent seen any recipes mention them. I will look this up.

How does the water bath help?

Also, do you use 60% or 70% chocolate?

Hmm maybe Ill have a batch in the water bath and a batch thats not. Im curious to see the difference.

Also, do you fill the ramekins to the very top? I filled mine at 3/4 and I think thats why they didnt raise super high.

about half an inch from the top should turn out well for the rise
