Recipe: Decadent Keto Lava Cake
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred Keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Grease four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with butter or cooking spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and powdered erythritol until well combined.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, until fully incorporated.
- Add the almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the batter. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Remove the lava cakes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Gently run a knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the cakes.
- Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate, tapping lightly if needed, to release the lava cakes. The cakes should come out easily with a gooey center.
- Serve the Decadent Keto Lava Cakes warm, either on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered erythritol for an extra touch of sweetness.
