Granually beat the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until the mixture is completely combined. Spoon the mixture equally into the muffin cups. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bake the muffins in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the tops have formed a curst and the muffins are starting to come away from the sides of their molds. Leave the pan for 2 minutes before removing them gently.

Serve warm.
