Fondant chocolate delight
It's hard to concentrate thinking about such a water-mouthing desert... I replaces "bouchon" by "delight", and added "fondant" as in "fondant au chocolat" (also a half-cooked chocolate chocolate wonder...).
you could also keep "bouchon": Cholocate bouchon delight...

cork-shaped chocolate
Seems to be used. A cork of chocolate is another alternative but I think it sounds strange...

bouchon au chocolat dessert
The "bouchon au chocolat" is a French dessert, cork shaped, yes (but not champagne cork-shaped), which is chocolate outside and ( vanilla) cream inside, but with armagnac or cognac or calvados aroma. If you look for "chocolate cork" on the web, you find cork shaped chocolate "pralinés". But this is bigger in shape.
Best would be to leave the French term.

Bouchon Chocolat with Orange Ice Cream, which we found out translates to a "cork" of chocolate. Indeed, this rich cake was both the shape and size of a wine cork propped upside-down on the plate. A scoop of velvety orange-flavored ice cream melted wonderfully into the porous cork cake.

bouchon au chocolat (melt-in-the-mouth chocolate fondant cake)
This is nothing more than a fancy name for a chocolate fondante cake (probably in the shape of a cork). I would definitely keep the French.
The "mi-cuit" bit refers to the time used to cook it. Some people like fairly dry fondant cakes, some prefer them to literally melt in the mouth and it is all to do with the cooking time.
