  5. In a medium heatsafe mixing bowl, combine the 1 stick of unsalted butter and the dark chocolate.
  6. Place over the pan of boiling water and stir occasionally as they melt. Mix well until homogeneous.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine the 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and an optional pinch of salt..
  8. Whisk the mixture until it lightens in color, becomes foamy, and falls in ribbons. Set aside.
  9. Using your rubber spatula, fold the chocolate into the egg mixture.
  10. Fold in the all purpose flour.
  11. Portion evenly between your baking containers, set on a sheet tray, and bake until the outer edge is set and the inside is still jiggly, about 6-10 minutes.

  13. To Make The Anglaise
  14. Bring the half & half to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.

  16. Once the half & half begins to simmer, slowly stream half of it into the egg mixture, stirring constantly.
  17. Return the mixture back to the saucepan and place over a medium heat.
  18. Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  19. Mix two tablespoons of raspberry puree with two tablespoons of the creme anglaise.
  20. To plate, place a large spoonful of the anglaise on your plate, place drops of raspberry anglaise onto the white anglaise.
  21. Using a toothpick, pull it through the raspberry puree to make little heart shapes.
