Making Chocolate Molten Lava cakes is super simple and they taste amazing.  A rich dessert that everyone loves.  Serve it warm fresh from the oven and topped with ice cream for an ooey gooey sweet treat.

I got this recipe from my baby sister, she makes this dessert anytime she has another couple over – as it makes four! Personally I double it and make 8 – refrigerating the final two (since there are 6 of us) and baking them the next day for “lunch” when the kids are in school!

That’s one of the best parts of this dessert – you can totally make it ahead of time – and just leave the filled ramekins in the fridge until your ready to bake (just let them warm up a bit before throwing them into the hot preheated oven)!

AND even better? You can personalize them by adding FILLINGS! So when I make a batch I let each kid pick what they want theirs filled with – Often I just go for the classic, but every once in a while I feel like something different! Peanut butter, Nutella and Caramels are our go-to’s – I’d recommend using a homemade caramel since the kraft don’t really melt in the oven well in just 17 mins.

The ice cream is a MUST for me as it’ helps “lighten” the richness of the cake and gooey center.  And yes I just said ice cream lightens – you guys I’m a rich, dense, heavy eater – this is about as light as it gets for me – BAHAHAHAHA.  Of COURSE I like it with my Hot Fudge – or Caramel sauce – or even my berry coulis!
