Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a muffin tin with 20 cups by spraying generously with cooking spray and dusting with flour, or line with paper liners. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval to prevent burning. Continue until completely melted and smooth. (Melt time: 1-3 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat on high speed. Pour in the heavy cream and beat until the batter has doubled in volume, creating a light and airy texture. Beat in the melted butter until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the flour and salt on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Finally, beat in the melted chocolate on medium speed until the batter is homogenous. Stir in the chocolate chips and toasted pecans. (Mixing time: 10-12 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. (Pouring time: 3-5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 20 to 25 minutes. (Bake time: 20-25 minutes)

06

Step

Allow the cupcakes to cool slightly in the muffin tin before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool further. Serve warm for the ultimate souffle-like experience.

For an even richer flavor, use a high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao.
Toasting the pecans before adding them to the batter enhances their nutty flavor.
Be careful not to overbake the cupcakes, as this will result in a drier texture. The tops should be springy to the touch.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
These cupcakes are best served warm, within a few hours of baking. Reheat gently if necessary.

    I didn't have pecans, so I used walnuts instead and they were just as delicious.
