Lava Brownies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/3 cup of thick whipping cream.
02 -
1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter.
03 -
A cup of semisweet chocolate pellets.
04 -
1.5 sticks of unsalted butter.
05 -
4 ounces of dark baking chocolate.
06 -
1 and 1/2 cups of white sugar.
07 -
An egg yolk plus 3 whole eggs.
08 -
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla flavoring.
09 -
3/4 cup of regular all-purpose flour.
10 -
A quarter teaspoon of fine sea salt.
11 -
Some fresh raspberries to garnish.
# Instructions:
01 -
On a low flame, stir together the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter in a small pan until everything melts and blends smoothly.
02 -
Pour the melted mix into a bowl and let it settle for exactly 15 minutes before covering it up.
03 -
Chill the chocolate mixture in the freezer for about an hour, letting it thicken to a fudge-like texture.
04 -
Split the mixture into six same-sized pieces, roll into balls, and put them back in the freezer.
05 -
Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a jumbo muffin tin with care to avoid sticking.
06 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, additional chocolate chips, and dark baking chocolate—heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
07 -
Using a hand mixer, whisk the sugar and eggs for exactly three minutes until the mix thickens and becomes pale.
08 -
Pour vanilla extract into the egg mix, followed by your melted chocolate. Stir until evenly combined.
09 -
Carefully fold in the salt and flour into the chocolate batter. Don’t overmix—just until it all comes together.
10 -
Scoop the batter evenly into all six sections of the muffin tin.
11 -
Push one frozen chocolate ball into the center of each batter portion.
12 -
Make sure each chocolate ball is completely hidden under the brownie batter.
13 -
Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the edges set but the centers still look gooey.
14 -
Let the baked cakes cool for a short 3-5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
15 -
Serve the treats with fresh raspberries while the center is still warm and flowing.
