Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup pistachio paste
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 ounces dark chocolate (60–70%), chopped
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

Make the Pistachio Filling: Melt white chocolate and heavy cream, then mix in pistachio paste and salt. Spoon into molds and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), grease ramekins with butter, and dust with cocoa powder.
Prepare the Chocolate Batter: Melt butter and dark chocolate together. Whisk eggs, yolks, sugar, and salt until thick; mix in melted chocolate and fold in flour.
Assemble: Fill the ramekins with some batter, place frozen pistachio discs on top, then cover with more batter.
Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are firm, but centers jiggle slightly. Let cool briefly before serving.
