Fudgy inside, crispy, crunchy outside, these Nutella Chocolate Flourless Cakes are full of hazelnut flavor and a splash of bourbon for good measure.

Ingredients
Scale
4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup nutella
1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
2 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon bourbon
Pinch fine sea salt
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease four ovenproof ramekins or custard cups (6 to 8-ounces each) and place on a baking sheet; set aside.
Place chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir chocolate occasionally just until melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in nutella, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, egg yolks and bourbon, until well blended. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg white and salt until soft peaks form. While beating, gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; beat until mixture is stiff and glossy.
Mix about 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the chocolate, until well blended. Fold in chocolate mixture with large rubber spatula. Pour into prepared ramekins.
Bake 18 to 22 or until the tops are puffed and cracked but the insides are still soft and gooey. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and serve, warm or at room temperature topped with ice cream.
