Description

These Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes hide a molten caramel surprise in every bite. Topped with berries and dusted with sugar, they’re elegant, rich, and surprisingly easy to make.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tbsp flour

  • Pinch of salt

  • 4 soft caramels (or spoon of caramel sauce)

 

  • Strawberries and powdered sugar for topping


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease ramekins or muffin tin.

  • Melt chocolate and butter. In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar. Combine with chocolate.

  • Fold in flour and salt.

  • Pour batter into molds, press a caramel into the center.

  • Bake 10–12 mins until edges are firm but center jiggles.

 


Notes

  • Don’t overbake—center should be molten.

  • You can use Nutella or peanut butter instead of caramel.

 

  • Best served fresh.
