Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 4 ounces white chocolate chips
- 3 egg whites
- Pinch of salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons rosewater
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat four 6-8 ounce ramekins (bonus if they’re heart-shaped!) with the 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar into each ramekin and shake to coat all sides. Place ramekins (with a little bit of space in between each one) on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Using a double boiler (or a metal mixing bowl above a saucepan of simmering water,) melt the white chocolate. You’ll want to keep stirring the chocolate as it melts so it doesn’t burn, but if you’re good at multi-tasking, you can whip the egg whites with the pinch of salt while this is happening. In a small bowl, simply combine the whites and salt and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Once your white chocolate is melted, remove from heat and beat in the 2 tablespoons of butter that are at room temperature. Next, beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, then the vanilla and rosewater. The mixture should have a stiff pudding-like texture at this time. Finally, beat in the almond milk.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the white chocolate mixture. Keep folding until the mixture is smooth (it will be fairly runny.) Pour the batter evenly into the four ramekins in the roasting pan.
- Fill the roasting pan with boiling water until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully transfer to the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the top feels fairly firm. Remove from oven and serve immediately for best results.
