Supplies

  • Ramekins (4)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing ramekins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease the ramekins with cooking spray or butter and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggs, and egg yolk until the mixture is light and slightly frothy.
  5. Gradually add the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth batter.
  6. Stir in the flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the greased ramekins.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cakes cool for 1-2 minutes, then carefully run a knife around the edges of each ramekin to loosen the cakes.
  10. Invert the ramekins onto plates and gently lift them off to reveal the lava cakes.
  11. Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
