Decadent Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 275°F (135°C) and prepare two muffin tins with cupcake liners for easy removal.

2. Step 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine semisweet chocolate chips and butter, heating over medium-low while stirring continuously until the mixture is melted and silky, which should take about three minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool for five minutes before whisking in the egg yolks for a rich, velvety texture.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

5. Step 5

   Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes glossy and forms stiff peaks, creating a cloud-like consistency.

6. Step 6

   To lighten the chocolate mixture, gently stir in a small portion of the beaten egg whites.

7. Step 7

   Then, with a delicate touch, fold the chocolate mixture into the remaining egg whites until fully combined, taking care not to deflate the airy batter.

8. Step 8

   Scoop the luscious batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full for the perfect rise.

9. Step 9

   Slide the tins into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the cupcakes are just set in the center, a sign of their deliciousness.

10. Step 10

    After baking, let them cool in the muffin tin for about five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take around 15 minutes.
