MOLTEN LAVA GOODNESS

In play group last week I overheard some of the women talking about a fantastic Molten Lava Cake recipe. My palatee watered. The conversation turned and I forgot to ask for the recipe. Sitting at home I scanned through multiple recipes online and settled on one by Paula Deen. This girl does it right. Nothing low fat. Just good ol' cream cheese, cottage thigh goodness. Check it out!

Molten Lava Cake 

6 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate

 2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate squares

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 stick) butter

 

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

 

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

 

3 large eggs

 

 3 egg yolks

 

 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

2 tablespoons orange liqueur

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Grease 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. Melt the chocolates and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler. Add the flour and sugar to chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and orange liqueur. Divide the batter evenly among the custard cups. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates.

These were so EASY! I was able to do them while Juleit say in her Boppy and watched. Add a little fruit on top for some added sweatness or tartness. I would of liked to try raspberries (my fav) or peaches (Jon's fav).
