Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins or muffin cups.
In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips with the unsalted butter until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and foamy.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture before adding all-purpose flour, pistachio flour, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins and bake for 11–13 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly.
Allow to cool for one minute before inverting onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with chopped pistachios, and serve warm.
