These Pistachio Chocolate Lava Cakes are rich, decadent molten chocolate cakes with a surprise pistachio filling. Perfect for special occasions or an indulgent dessert treat.

Ingredients

  • 100g dark chocolate (70%)
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 20g all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 60g pistachio spread or paste
  • Extra butter and cocoa powder for greasing ramekins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease 4 ramekins with butter, then dust with cocoa powder. Set aside.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
  5. Sift in the flour and salt, and fold gently until just combined.
  6. Divide half of the chocolate batter into the prepared ramekins.
  7. Add a spoonful (about 1 tbsp) of pistachio spread into the center of each ramekin.
  8. Top with the remaining chocolate batter, making sure the pistachio center is covered.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
  10. Allow to cool for 1–2 minutes, then carefully invert onto plates and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for best results.
  • You can prepare the batter ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
