butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides sweetness with a unique flavor.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Almond flour adds a nutty flavor and is gluten-free.

Coat the mold with soft butter and sugar to prevent sticking.

Ensure the butter is spread evenly and scrape it into the mold for proper rising.

Roll sugar into the mold and tap to remove excess sugar.

Place the coated molds in the fridge until ready to use.

Mix flour with butter to create a paste called 'burman'.

Bring chocolate milk to a boil and add the burman, mixing until dissolved.

Cook the mixture on low heat for one minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Turn off the heat and add chocolate, allowing it to melt completely.

Add vanilla extract or vanilla bean to the chocolate mixture.

Incorporate egg yolk into the chocolate mixture and transfer to a bowl.

Add rum to the chocolate mixture and set aside.

In a separate bowl, add egg whites and a pinch of salt to make French meringue.

Whisk egg whites until fluffy, then gradually add brown sugar while whisking until stiff peaks form.

Combine a small amount of meringue with the chocolate mixture to loosen it.

Gently fold in the remaining meringue into the chocolate mixture.

Fill the prepared ramekins with the mixture, stopping at the lip of the ramekin.

Swirl the ramekins to pop air bubbles and ensure even baking.

Bake in a preheated convection oven at 400°F, then reduce to 375°F for 10-12 minutes.

Check for a dry top; if shiny, it needs more baking.

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top immediately after removing from the oven and serve.
