Over the past few days, I’ve been posting recipes from the Valentine’s Dinner my husband and I enjoyed together! So far, I’ve posted recipes for Parmesan Orzo Pasta, BLT Stuffed Tomatoes, and Lobster Colorado. All of which were outstanding, and unbelievably delicious. However, no Valentine’s Dinner is complete without the all important chocolate dessert. Thus, today’s post of Chocolate Lava Cakes is the final installment from our Valentine’s Menu recipes.
Go grab a napkin…you’ve been drooling on your keyboard. But seriously, though, just look at those pictures! Doesn’t that look like heaven on a plate?! Ya know if…heaven were food?
This dessert just screams elegance and decadence and luxury all rolled up in one gooey chocolate package. Anytime I go to a restaurant, and the words “molten” “chocolate” or “lava” appear in any combination on the dessert menu, I’m hooked. Does it matter if I’ve already eaten to the point of being fully satisfied? No. Because this isn’t just any dessert we’re talking about here…this is molten chocolate baked inside of a cake!
Now here’s the part you won’t believe (and neither did I)…this is actually VERY VERY easy to make! It’s quite possibly just about as easy as cake from a box. And WAY better. All together, this took about 5 minutes to prep and then 12 minutes to bake in the oven. It’s so simple and deliciously rich, how can you not try this recipe?

Beautiful plating for an already impressive dish!!!
Thank you! I have been trying to improve my plating/food photography skills, so I appreciate the compliment!
Looks absolutely wonderful! I love the size and the lava affect. Very nice!
Thank you Bernice! I love individual sized desserts but have a hard time finding recipes for them! It was nice to have my own little cake 🙂
That is what I like about it. Your own little cake! Maybe you can figure out how to convert a regular dessert into individual size servings. 🙂
I guess I should put all that math I learned in school to some use and try to figure out how to make individual sized desserts Then it wouldn’t have all been for nothing! 🙂
Haha, “Go grab a napkin…you’ve been drooling on your keyboard.” Thanks for the advice, I’ll go get one now. 😉 WOW! They look absolutely delish!!!!! Send me a piece!! 🙂 The last picture makes my mouth water…
Haha thank you very much! And thanks for reblogging my post on your site!

I have only word: DELISH! <3
I would have never thought they were so simple to make! And that is such a great way for me to use my ramekins! I tend to only use them for mini lemon soufflés (personal favorite), but these look absolutely delicious.
I know right? I was shocked at how quick and easy they were And sadly my ramekins get more use as serving containers for condiments/toppings than for baking I’d love to know how you make your mini lemon souffles, too! Is there a link to the recipe?
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/lemon-souffle/, this is the closest version of the one that I use!! They are so light and fluffy and delicious! If you put a little raspberry with it, yum!
Thanks! I’ll check it out!
This is soooooooooo good. I could easily eat it daily!
Oh me too The fact that they’re so easy only makes it more dangerous for my waistline
