By Heather

IMG_0134

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?

If you’re spending the evening at home with your sweetie, make this for dessert.  It tastes just like those fancy soufflés you need to order ahead of time at a restaurant.  But this one is quick and easy – only 5 ingredients needed for this Valentine’s Day treat. Get your ramekins ready. These are the ones I use:

The perfect Molten Lava Cake recipe...it is easy to make too!
Author: Heather @ GirlGoneMom.com
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: French
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for the ramekins
  • 1 Tbsp flour, plus more for the ramekins
  • 1⁄3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 450ºF. Butter two 6-oz ramekins and dust the inside with flour.
  2. Place the butter and chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk and sugar in a medium bowl until thick and lighter in color, about 1 minute. Add the melted chocolate mixture and flour and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins. Bake until edges are set and center still jiggles slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand for 15 seconds. Run a knife around edge, then invert each cake onto a plate. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve with fresh mint or berries, if desired. Serve immediately.

Make-Ahead Tip: Refrigerate the batter in the ramekins for up to 1 day. Before baking, bring to room temperature.

I use milk chocolate morsels instead of the recommended bittersweet, and I have yet to receive complaints.  It’s a hit every time I make it!
