Can you make a moelleux in advance?

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Melt the butter, sugar, and chocolate over low heat.

Definitely do not let it boil, just melt and keep stirring well.

Once everything is nicely melted and combined, mix in the eggs off the heat until everything shines beautifully.

Grease 4 circular molds, cut 4 strips of baking paper, 1 cm wider than your stainless steel circle, roll them up and stick them against the edge.

Make sure they are cut nicely straight so that they fit perfectly against the edge of the bottom, place them on a straight baking sheet with baking paper.

Divide the chocolate mixture into the 4 circles, I do this with a piping bag.

Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 185°.

Insert a chocolate praline or a piece of extra chocolate into each circle.

Bake them for 18 minutes.

Let them sit for a moment.

Remove the circle, also the baking paper.

Sprinkle some cocoa powder on top and serve with a scoop of vanilla cream ice cream if you like.

Yesss, this is chocolate heaven!
