Steps:
- Set your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease 2 small ovenproof dishes or ramekins with butter and place them on a baking tray.
- Chop the chocolate if necessary and place in a microwaveable dish. Add the butter and microwave in 30-second bursts until melted. In my microwave, it takes 2 minutes on medium power. Remove, stir gently and allow to cool a little (to avoid making chocolate scrambled eggs).
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with the salt and vanilla until very well combined. You could use a handheld mixer, though I prefer to do it by hand with a balloon whisk because it's quieter and more pleasant.
- Stir in the slightly cooled chocolate, then mix in the flour until just combined. Do not over-beat.
- Divide the mixture between the dishes and cook for 12 minutes. Check that the top is just beginning to crack and remove from the oven. Let them sit for 5 minutes before serving, turning them out onto a plate if you want to.
- While these are perfectly delicious just the way they are, you could serve them with cream or vanilla ice cream to suit your mood.

Tips:
- Microwave Method: For a quick and easy chocolate dessert, try the microwave method. Simply combine the butter, chocolate chips, milk, and vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, stir in the confectioners' sugar until well combined. Pour the mixture into a serving dish and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Stovetop Method: If you prefer a more traditional approach, you can make chocolate dessert on the stovetop. Combine the butter and chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar until well combined. Pour the mixture into a serving dish and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- No-Bake Method: For a no-bake chocolate dessert, try using a graham cracker crust. Simply combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl and press into the bottom of a pie plate. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract. Pour the filling onto the graham cracker crust and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Adding Variations: Feel free to experiment with different flavors and toppings to create your own unique chocolate dessert. Try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. You can also drizzle the dessert with chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra touch of decadence.
