Indulge in this delectable copycat version of Chili’s Molten Lava Cake, boasting a gooey center, topped with melted ice cream, and drizzled with decadent hot fudge.

Ingredients

Main 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 Tablespoons flour

Additional:

  • caramel sauce, for drizzling
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Smuckers Chocolate Magic Shell ice cream topping, for drizzling
  • Non-stick Cooking Spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave for 2 minutes and whisk until smooth.

  3. Whisk in powdered sugar until combined.
  4. Add 3 eggs and 1 egg yolk, and whisk until combined.
  5. Add vanilla and flour and mix again.
  6. Generously spray four 1 cup oven-safe cups with cooking spray, and evenly fill with batter.
  7. Bake on a cookie sheet in the oven for 13-15 minutes until the outer edges are set and the center is still soft.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a plate drizzled with caramel sauce.
  9. 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!)
