Tuesday Treat: White Chocolate Molten Lava Cake


About 2 months ago I posted about finding a great recipe for Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes. It is a delicious treat, and I LOVE it! I also wanted to try a white chocolate molten lava cake, and let me say - DELICIOUS. It is pretty much the same as the original - except I use white chocolate squares and reduce the amount of sugar. Turned out beautifully!
This was the dessert I made for our late Valentine's Day dinner. A perfect ending to the meal!
White Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
In a medium bowl combine Four White Chocolate Baking Squares (4 ounces) and ½ cups Butter. Melt in microwave for 1 minute.
Mix until smooth.
Whisk in ½ cup Powdered Sugar. It may not look so pretty after it is all mixed in, but after you add the eggs it will be great.
Add 2 Eggs and 2 Egg Yolks. Beat until smooth.
Add 6 Tablespoons Flour, stir until just combined.
Pour into 4 greased baking dishes (about 1/2 cup per dish). I used Ramekins, but you can use custard dishes.
Bake at 400 Degrees for 13 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 1 minute.
 
Run a knife around the edges to loosen. Turn over onto plate. Once the cake has dropped, remove baking dish.
Serve immediately.
If desired serve with a raspberry sauce. (For a basic raspberry sauce bring 1 lb of frozen raspberries to a simmer, add 1 Tbsp honey. If desired either strain seeds out or use a blender, or serve with seeds)
Enjoy!

  2. Oh man. What IS my favourite chocolate dessert? Um, all of them?

    A really good brownie can't be beat, I guess, but I'm also a ridiculous sucker for peanut m&ms.

  3. Chocolate dessert...man, I think I'd rather take a math test than this one! Hmmm. Well, it's not my only favorite, but on my birthday, I do love a good German Chocolate Cake.

  5. I like the raspberry sauce idea.. white chocolate is too sweet for me though. My favorite chocolate dessert is simple but rich brownies or cake.
