If you're looking for the best Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes recipe, you've come to the right place. These babies are super rich, perfectly sweetened, and every bit as ooey and gooey as they should be. (PS. don't tell anyone but the ingredients are all healthy, too!)

Flourless Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes

Coconut oil + cocoa powder,

dark chocolate, chopped

coconut oil

eggs egg

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides

coconut sugar

vanilla

sea salt

almond flour

Berries – raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries are delicious

Whipped cream cream

Caramel or chocolate sauce

sugar

Preheat your oven to 420 degrees. Brush the insides of two 6-ounce ramekins with coconut oil. Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to each and roll the ramekins so the cocoa powder covers all inside edges.

Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a large frying pan over LOW heat and let the chocolate slowly melt. When it has mostly melted, whisk until smooth and remove the pan from the heat.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, sugar, vanilla, and sea salt on high for 1 minute. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl and sprinkle with the almond flour. Gently fold the chocolate into the eggs.

Divide the batter between the two ramekins, filling nearly to the top. Bake the lava cakes for 10-12 minutes. They are done when the tops have a solid dry crust but still jiggle when shaken. Do not over bake them.

Let them cool for 1 minute then run a knife along the sides to loosen them. Place a plate on top of one then flip the plate over so the ramekin is upside down on the plate. Carefully remove the ramekin. Garnish with any or all of the optional toppings and serve right away.

This recipe is amazing! The cakes are seriously so decadent. I'm going to want to make this every day now haha!

Hot Chocolate transformed into Lava Cakes with melted gooey marshmallow baked into the centre! All in a muffin pan and so easy to bake!

Chocolate Lava Cakes

unsalted butter

3.5 oz (100 g) dark chocolate ((I used Lindt 70%))

sugar sugar

vanilla extract

flour

eggs

Marshmallows

powdered/confectioners or icing sugar (for dusting)

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 6-hole muffin tin (or 6 small ramekins) with butter or cooking oil spray; wipe excess over with a paper towel and set aside.

Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Cook while stirring until melted and smooth.ALTERNATIVELY:&nbsp;Combine butter and chocolate in a medium-sized microwave safe bowl; melt in 30 second increments stirring between each until chocolate and butter are melted and well combined.

Remove from heat (or microwave); stir in sugar and vanilla.

Add flour to the chocolate mixture in the pan; whisk until combined. Whisk one egg into the mixture at a time until a smooth chocolate batter is formed..

Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tray (or ramekins) until full. Add 1 marshmallow into each mould and press them down (they will float up slightly but sink while baking).

Place muffin tray onto a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges have set but the centre of each cake is a little soft. Allow to cool in the muffin tray for 5 minutes.&nbsp;

Using a knife, gently pull cake away from the sides of the tray before turning out onto a baking tray lined with parchment/baking paper. Lift each cake onto a serving plate with a wide spatula while still warm and gooey (or they will stick to the tray if left for too long).

To serve, dust with powdered/icing sugar.

Stovetop:

Lava Brownies are ultimate chocolate decadence and one of my all-time favorite desserts. Rich, chewy, gooey, and luscious with tons of chocolate flavor.

Lava Brownies

(170 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

heavy cream

(113 grams) unsweetened chocolate, (chopped)

(300 grams) granulated sugar

eggs egg yolk

(94 grams) all-purpose flour

fine sea salt

Fresh raspberries, (for serving)

In a small saucepan, combine the lava ingredients. Stir over low heat until melted. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool for 15 minutes. Cover and freeze for 1 hour, or until fudge-like consistency. Divide into 6 equal portions and roll into balls. Place in the freezer until solid.

For the chocolate lava:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and unsweetened chocolate. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst, until the mixture is melted and smooth, being careful not to scorch the mixture. Allow to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed until light and thick, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula. Add the flour and salt, folding gently until combined.

Divide the batter among the prepared cups.

For the brownies:

At this point, the unbaked lava brownies can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before inserting the lava filling balls and baking.

Place a ball of lava filling into the center of each cup, pressing down slightly to cover with batter. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the brownie is cooked through but the lava is still molten. Let cool for 3 to 5 minutes before turning out onto a tray and serving on individual plates. Serve immediately with fresh raspberries.

Brownies can be reheated in the microwave to serve later, but are best served just after baking.

MAKE AHEAD:

Pure perfection! And SO easy to make. Thank you for the recipe. I haven't been disappointed in one of your recipes yet, and I highly doubt I will be.

This recipe is fail proof! I made some changes due to what I had in the pantry and it turned out perfect still! I made the ganache with milk chocolate and the brownie with dark chocolate (cut back a bit on the sugar to compensate). I also only made a quarter of the recipe and baked it in two 4 inch spring form pans. After cooling, I enjoyed them at the pool. Thanks for the great recipe!!

Honestly I don't remember what I used to grease the ramekins anymore, but not there was no lava and it was almost hollow in the middle!

Made it twice. The recipe makes way too much ganache and there is no way the brownie holds together if you divide it into 6. Tried with less ganache and no dice either - it falls through the top and bottom.
