Servings 4 Cakes

Equipment:

  • 4 6-ounce ramekins

Ingredients:

  • Cocoa powder
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 Harry & David Signature Chocolate Truffles
  • Raspberries (for garnish)
  • Fresh mint (for garnish)
  • Strawberries (for garnish)

Instructions: 

  • Preheat your oven to 425° F. Spray the ramekins with non-stick cooking spray, give them a dusting of cocoa powder, and place them on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter, and bittersweet and semisweet chocolate. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for about a minute, until the butter is melted. Stir to combine until everything is blended together.
  • Stir in the confectioners sugar and continue to stir until well blended.
  • Add the eggs and egg yolks and continue to stir followed by the vanilla extract. Stir until incorporated into the batter.
  • Add the flour and kosher salt and continue to stir.
  • Divide the mixture among the four ramekins. Take a chocolate truffle and place it in the center of the lava cake batter in one of the ramekins, and press down. Using a spoon, cover the truffle with the batter. Repeat the process until all the truffles have been placed and covered.
  • Place the ramekins in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the sides appear solid and firm. Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow to cool for about a minute. Cover each ramekin with an inverted plate and turn over.
  • Garnish with additional raspberries, mint, and/or strawberries and serve.
