How to Make and Freeze Individual Chocolate Lava Cakes
/This isn’t my favorite lava cake recipe.
it tastes good enough with rich vanilla ice cream
But I couldn’t find my favorite chocolate lava cake recipe, and I had a craving!
The great thing about freezer meals is you can prep a bunch of individual cakes, and freeze them individually for later!
When you bake them, simply add 1 minute for the cake that was in the fridge, and add 2 minutes to the cake that you pulled out of the freezer.
What is lava cake?
With a lava cake, the outside is cooked, but when you slice into it, the center is a hot molten chocolate goo - delicious!
How to make Chocolate Lava Cake
Gather the ingredients.
2. Chop the chocolate, and melt it with butter in the microwave.

3. Mix all the rest of the ingredients.
4. Use an ice cream scoop to divide the batter into your five buttered ramekins.
Growing up, our ramekins were called “Pudding Cups”. Because that’s the only thing they were ever used for! Yummy! As an adult, I like the clear ramekins best (mine are blue Pyrex). And this is the right kind of ice cream scoop (with the swooping bar to eject the batter). If you buy it here, I get a tiny commission, and you get great products you will use forever!
Bake only what you need now. Freeze the rest!
“A bit of advice...only serve these to known chocolate lovers. Otherwise you’ll have to sit and watch someone take one bite, and then waste the rest. Tragedy!”
