Ingredients
- Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes:
- 3/4 cup butter 1 1/2 sticks or 12 Tablespoons, melted (plus more for pan)
- 6 1/2 ounces chocolate bar heaping 1 cup, chopped (semi-sweet, dark, or bittersweet)
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 Tablespoons almond meal optional
- Homemade Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- GARNISH:
- chocolate shavings
- chopped pistachios
- fresh raspberries
- fresh strawberries
- vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Butter six 4-ounce or 6-ounce ramekins. Place ramekins on baking sheet.
- In a small pot, melt butter over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and add chocolate. Stir until melted. Once chocolate is melted, set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar for 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Fold the melted chocolate in three increments into the egg-sugar mixture, folding well after each addition. This helps to create an aerated batter.
- Fold in the almond meal, if using. Add sea salt.
- Pour batter into prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 12 - 16 minutes or until the top is set and dry. The center will still be gooey.
- Let set and cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the cakes to set up.
- To make whipped cream: beat heavy cream in mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Stir in powdered sugar and whip for 30 seconds longer. Add vanilla, if so desired.
- Top chocolate cakes with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, pistachios, raspberries, or strawberries.
