Delightful molten lava cakes with a gooey pistachio center, easy to make and sure to impress!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pistachio paste (or crushed pistachios)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with flour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in sugar, then add eggs and egg yolks, mixing well.
- Fold in flour until just combined, then gently stir in pistachio paste.
- Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
- Let them sit for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Make sure to grease and flour your ramekins well. Keep an eye on the baking time; every oven is different. If overbaked, the center won’t be molten.
