Ooey Gooey Chocolate Lava Cakes

Within the culinary world, there are few things more gratifying than chocolate lava cake. Between the soft, spongy exterior and the gooey, warm, rich center… adding a creamy scoop of cold vanilla bean ice cream would almost be too much if it didn’t serve as the perfect accompaniment to this mind-blowing sweet indulgence.

I’ve always loved chocolate, but only experience a real craving for it on rare occasion. When the urge hits however, this girl doesn’t mess around. Rather than unwrapping a Hershey’s bar, I’ll whip up my favorite flourless chocolate torte, or these mouth-watering chocolate lava cakes.

It will be love at first bite.  They’re simple as can be to make, and will scratch even the most intense itch for anything and everything chocolate.

The other great thing about this recipe is that the sweetness level can be easily adjusted.  If you’re looking for something that will take care of your sweet tooth without tasting like it’s sending you into a full-blown sugar coma, go for a chocolate that features a higher cocoa content.

I prefer to tap into my creativity in the kitchen by formulating my own recipes, but life has been a bit more hectic than usual.  As such, I’m delighted to share this recipe as created by Jenny Hobick.

Enjoy!!
