Copycat Chili’s Molten Lava Cake Recipe
Enjoy our copycat version of Chili’s Molten Lava Cake, featuring an gooey center, melted ice cream, and drizzled with hot fudge.
Serving4 cakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips, (or semi sweet)
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Tablespoon flour
- caramel sauce, for drizzling
- Vanilla ice cream
- Smuckers Chocolate Magic Shell ice cream topping, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- In a microwave-safe bowl combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave for 2 minutes and whisk until smooth.
- Whisk in powdered sugar until combined.
- Add 3 eggs and 1 egg yolk, and whisk until combined.
- Add vanilla and flour and mix again.
- Generously spray four 1 cup oven-safe cups with cooking spray, and evenly fill with batter.
- Bake on a cookie sheet in the oven for 13-15 minutes until the outer edges are set and the center is still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a plate drizzled with caramel sauce.
- Top cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle magic shell topping on top.
Notes
- If you don't have oven safe bowls, you can get some Pyrex bowls HERE. You can also use a muffin tin, but instead of making 4, it will make 6 smaller ones.
- I would suggest buying Nestle, or Kroger Milk Chocolate Chips. They just tend to melt better in the microwave.
- Make sure you spray the bowls well with non-stick spray, so they will come out easier.
- Bake on a cookie sheet. This is important just in case it goes over the edge! Then it will be on your cookie sheet instead of burning on the bottom of your oven.
- When it is done, don't let it cool for too long! Remember, you want to eat them HOT and Gooey! (well, at least I do!)
