- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Chop the chocolate into fine pieces.
- Grease an 8-inch pan ( or individual ramekins).
- Heat the butter in a saucepan. Once the butter is melted (or you can BROWN THE BUTTER which has a caramel flavor), slowly add the chocolate (don't burn the chocolate). Add the sweetener and stir well to combine.
- Let cool in the fridge. Once cool, add one egg at a time. Add a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine. Pour into the prepared pan or ramekins.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve with cream cheese frosting if desired.
- To make the frosting, Brown the butter in a saucepan (stir constantly on high heat until light golden brown – it makes such a difference!!!). Once brown add the cream cheese, almond milk, and sweetener to taste. Mix until creamy and allow to cool for at least 2 hours, it will thicken. Spread on top of the cake (add almonds if desired) and enjoy. .
