Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes

Ingredients

  • 6 oz. (6, 1 oz squares) bittersweet chocolate
  • 2 oz. (2, 1 oz squares) semi sweet chocolate
  • 10 tablespoons Challenge butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425*F.
  2. Grease 6-8 (6oz) ramekins (oven safe dustard cups) with butter, or non-stick cooking spray. You can fill 6 dishes full, or 8 dishes 3/4 full.
  3. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler.
  4. Stir the melted chocolate and butter until smooth, then add the flour and sugar and stir just a couple times.
  5. Add in the eggs, yolks and vanilla, and stir until incorporated and smooth.
  6. Divide the batter as evenly as possible among the ramekins.
  7. Bake 14 minutes if using 6 dishes, or 12 minutes if batter is divided into 8 dishes. The edges should be firm, but the center will be loose.
  8. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes. Enjoy directly from the dish, or run a knife around the edges of the dish, and invert onto a dessert plate.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar, or serve with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
