Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces processed cheese, such as Velveeta, at room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for serving
2 canned chipotles in adobo
Nonstick cooking spray, for the ramekins
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup white cornmeal
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Combine the cheese, cream cheese, butter and chipotles in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Scoop the cheese mixture into 4 balls on a baking sheet using a medium ice cream scoop. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 4 tall 8-ounce ramekins (ours were 2 inches tall on the outside and 3 1/2 inches wide) with nonstick cooking spray and dust lightly with flour.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil and egg in a small bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth.
  • Put 2 tablespoons of the batter into each prepared ramekin to coat the bottom. Put one cheese scoop in the middle of the batter in each ramekin, making sure there is a 1/4-inch border all the way around the cheese mixture (you do not want it to touch the sides). Divide the remaining batter among the ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake until puffed and slightly golden around the edges, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Invert onto a plate, top with a pat of butter and serve.

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 stick
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup whole milk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 oz cream cheese
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar, divided for serving
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
nonstick cooking spray
rasberry, for serving

Steps:

  • To make the cake batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Once incorporated, mix in the milk. Gradually add the flour until the batter becomes thick and dough-like.
  • To make the filling, use a hand mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese in a separate large bowl. Once fluffy, gradually add the powdered sugar. Mix in the vanilla extract and cream and beat until mixture is smooth and thick.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Take a golf ball-size portion of cake dough and line the base and sides of a cup. Repeat with the remaining cups.
  • Fill each cake bowl with ¼ cup (30 g) of filling.
  • Take another golf ball-size portion of cake dough, roll it in a ball, and flatten with your fingers to create a 2-inch (5-cm) circle. Place the circle over the top of the filling, and press down the edges to make sure it seals to the other dough. Repeat with the remaining cakes.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until light, golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, invert onto a cutting board.
  • Serve immediately topped with sifted powdered sugar and raspberries.
  • Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES RECIPE BY TASTY



Chocolate Lava Cakes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, granulated sugar, heavy cream, dark chocolate chip, large eggs, large egg yolks, light brown sugar, kosher salt, vanilla extract, all purpose flour, whipped cream, fresh berries

Provided by Chris Salicrup

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for greasing ramekins
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
1 ¼ cups dark chocolate chip, divided
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
⅓ cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup whipped cream, for serving
1 cup fresh berries, for serving

Steps:

  • Coat the inside of 4 1-cup (125 G) ramekins with softened butter, then sprinkle with the granulated sugar, tilting to coat completely. Set aside on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a small pot until boiling.
  • Pour the boiling cream over ½ cup (120 ml) dark chocolate in a small bowl and let sit for 3 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining ¾ cup (170 G) chocolate and the butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and frothy, about 8 minutes.
  • Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the eggs. Add the flour and fold to incorporate.
  • Divide half of the batter between the prepared ramekins. Add ½ tablespoon of the chilled ganache to the center of each ramekin, then scoop the remaining batter on top.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, until the tops are set and the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the ramekins.
  • Let the lava cakes cool slightly, then invert onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with berries. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
