Adapted from America's Test Kitchen</a>
Ingredients
<ol><li>1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder

Confectioners' sugar and fresh berries, for garnish</li></ol>
Directions

<ol>
<li>Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the chocolate chips for later. Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals for 1-2 minutes or until it's completely melted. Add the butter and vanilla extract, and keep mixing until it's thoroughly melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.</li>
<li>Whisk egg, then gradually add in granulated sugar and salt and whisk until it becomes thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Fold in cooled chocolate mixture, then sift cocoa powder over top. Gently fold mixtures together until no streaks remain. Finally fold in remaining chocolate chips.</li>
<li>Divide batter between 2 mugs. Microwave until tops are just firm to touch and centers are gooey when pierced with toothpick, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove mugs from the microwave (use a towel or oven mitt). Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve warm with berries. </li>
