Description

Dessert couldn't be easier or more decadent than these deep chocolate lava cakes. They are cooked in the microwave in coffee mugs or for a prettier presentation, in ramekins. There is a wonderful truffle inside each and then they are garnished with crushe

Ingredients

• 2 T. coconut oil or unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
• 1/4 c. milk
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 2 T. unsweetened cocoa
• 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1/8 t. salt
• pinch of cayenne
• 2 chocolate truffles with hard shells
• Garnish:
• 1 T. crushed chocolate cookie crumbs or a dusting of powdered sugar

Steps

1. In a medium microwavable bowl, heat coconut oil and milk on High in 20 second intervals until coconut oil is melted.
2. Whisk in sugar, then the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and cayenne, whisking until smooth.
3. Lightly oil two 8 oz. mugs or ramekins with coconut oil. Divide batter between the 2 mugs/ramekins; place a chocolate truffle in the center. The truffle need not be submerged, since the batter will envelop it while baking.
