  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon hazelnut extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  2. Spray 8 small custard cups or souffle dishes with nonstick spray. Place on baking sheet.
  3. Heat chocolate and butter in large glass bowl resting over a pan of boiling water until butter is melted. Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar until well blended. Blend in eggs 1 at a time, so that the eggs do not cook. Stir in Hazelnut extract and flour.
