Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 40g (8 squares) ChocZero 70% dark chocolate
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 60g (¼ cup) unsalted butter
Flour and Sweeteners:
- 8g (1 tablespoon) blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons powdered monk fruit allulose blend
Seasoning:
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 450°F (232°C). Thoroughly coat two 6-ounce () ramekins with butter, positioning them on a compact baking sheet.
- Create a melting station using a double boiler technique. Gently simmer water in a small saucepan, then position a glass or stainless steel bowl above. Introduce butter and chocolate, stirring periodically for 3-4 minutes until completely liquefied. Exercise caution to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- In a medium mixing bowl, utilize a hand mixer to whip egg, egg yolk, powdered sweetener, and sea salt at high intensity for one minute, achieving a pale yellow consistency.
- Incorporate the molten chocolate mixture and almond flour into the egg blend, immediately mixing until uniformly combined.
- Evenly distribute the batter between ramekins. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 6-7 minutes, ensuring edges appear set while maintaining a delicate, slightly wobbly center approximately 1-1.5 inches (2.5-4cm) wide.
- Allow ramekins to rest for one minute post-baking. Carefully detach cake edges using a knife. Position an inverted plate atop each ramekin. Wearing an oven mitt, gently flip to release the cake. Let ramekin rest for 30 seconds, tap firmly multiple times, then carefully lift away.
Notes
- Ensure eggs reach room temperature before mixing to create a smooth, lump-free chocolate batter that blends perfectly.
- Gentle chocolate melting prevents seizure and maintains a silky, glossy texture for your decadent dessert.
- Whip eggs and sweetener energetically to incorporate air, guaranteeing that luxurious molten center every chocolate lover craves.
- Monitor baking closely, aiming for set edges with a seductively jiggly center that promises an oozing chocolate experience.
- Generously butter ramekins to guarantee a flawless release, keeping your lava cakes intact and picture-perfect when serving.
