You know your stress level has reached a dangerous point
when you start consuming more than one box of Double Chocolate Milano’s per
week. For the first few weeks of school I would run out the night before our
weekly Sunday grocery store run, then buy a new box and be set for the week.
Now I’m out by Thursdays (we all have our vices). Clearly that double chocolate
layer just wasn’t doing it. Thus enters the ultimate chocolate molten lava
cake.
This time I cut the recipe down for two people (since
between the two of us we could probably almost finish all four of them in a
day). Cutting recipes is always a tricky feat when you have an odd number of
eggs, so I just whisked together two eggs and then spooned out a little bit
into the trash, but I bet it would still work if you just used either 1 or 2 eggs.
It's sinful how easy to make these are. You will want to make them everyday. Don't.
Vanilla ice-cream is completely necessary.
You will need:
8oz Bittersweet chocolate
8 Tbls butter (1 stick)
3 eggs
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c flour
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 400
degrees F.
Generously butter four
6 ounce ramekins. Place the prepared molds on a baking sheet and set aside.
Melt the chocolates
and butter in a double boiler. Beat the eggs and sugar with an electric
mixer until pale, about two minutes, then beat in the vanilla. Stir in the
egg mixture into the chocolate and then add the flour, mix well.
Divide the batter
among the prepared ramekins and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, the edges
should be firm and set but the center will still look a little wet.
Chocolatey goodness? Meet ice-cream mountain.
