- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and butter on medium power for 1 minute, then in 30 second increments until the butter and the chocolate have melted. Set aside to cool a bit.
- Stir in the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of sugar into the chocolate mixture.
- Place egg whites in a large bowl, beat until foamy. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and cocoa powder. Gradually beat into whites until soft peaks fold over when you lift the beaters.
- Stir in 1/3 of the chocolate-butter mixture into the whites mixture. Gently fold in the rest of the chocolate mixture until completely combined. Place a tablespoon of the mixture into each of the cups. Add 2-3 raspberries. Divide the remaining mixture evenly between the cups.
