Chocolate-Espresso Lava Cake Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 Cup Butter cubed, plus more for greasing
  • 2 shots Coffee use espresso
  • 3/4 cups confectioners sugar sifted
  • 1 egg yolk (from a large egg)
  • 1/3 Cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 to 4 Caramel Candies use soft, chewy kind
  • cocoa powder for dusting
  • whipped cream to serve

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Generously grease 2 (4-inch) or 4 (3-inch) heatproof molds or ramekins with butter. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Microwave chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute on high or until butter is melted. Mix well.
  • Add espresso and stir well. Add sugar and mix until well blended.
  • Beat in egg and egg yolk with a wire whisk.
  • Stir in flour and mix until just combined. (Mixture will be slightly thick but pourable.) Divide batter among prepared molds or ramekins.
  • Microwave caramel candies on a microwave-safe plate for 15 to 20 seconds to soften. With wet hands, scoop up 1 candy, roll into a ball, and gently drop into the center of a ramekin. Repeat with remaining caramel candies and ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Remove from oven and let rest for 1 minute. Carefully run a spatula or small knife around cakes to loosen. Invert cakes onto dessert plates. Dust with cocoa powder and serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired. Serve immediately.
