Try this easy to make recipe and show that it is possible to make delicious low-carb chocolate lava cake without sugar, butter or flour!

I have been craving chocolate lately and I was thinking of trying to make a molten lava cake. Molten lava cakes are really easy to make, so I decided why not make one and post the recipe on this blog. This is going to be a pretty easy recipe and there is no high-fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners.

A few weeks ago, the low-carb world was abuzz with the news that one of the premiere low-carb bakery’s in the U.S., *Dixie Dregs*, was making the switch to a product line made with fat.  I’ve been a huge fan of Dixie Dregs for quite some time.  The products are made with natural ingredients and are not laden with additives or other nasty processed ingredients.  They bake low-carb, and they taste great too.  So, when I heard that Dixie Dregs was switching to a product line made with natural, whole ingredients, I was overjoyed.

Molten chocolate lava cake with low carbs

 

 

Dessert has never tasted so rich. Consider a warm, melted bar of creamy chocolate heading your way. Now is the time to make it happen with this low-carb lava cake.

Medium (15 + 10 m)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and butter 6 tiny ramekins (about 3″ or 7 cm diameter).

2. Cut the chocolate into smaller pieces by slicing or chopping it. In a saucepan or the top of a double boiler, combine all ingredients. Stir in the butter until it is completely melted.

3. Stir in the vanilla extract until it is completely smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and put it aside. Allow the chocolate to cool somewhat, but not too much, to avoid it becoming stiff.

4. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat with an electric mixer until frothy and quadrupled in size, approximately 2-3 minutes.

5. Pour the chocolate batter into the pan. To combine, whisk gently until the batter is smooth, but not too much so that the mixture collapses.

6. Place the ramekins in the oven after pouring the batter into them. Reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) right away.

7. Time yourself for 7-9 minutes. Just as the lava cake’s surface starts to break, it’s done.

8. Remove from the oven and serve at room temperature. A spoonful of whipped cream or sour cream on top completes the dish.

Tip!

After you remove the ramekins from the oven, the cakes will continue to bake in the ramekins. Pull them out a bit early to keep the lava flowing.
