Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp Chocolate spread (plus 3 tbsp extra for the centers)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing ramekins, optional)
  • 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Equipment

  • Individual Ramekins: The standard 6-ounce (180ml) size works best for this recipe.
  • Electric Hand Mixer: Essential for getting those egg whites to stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Silicone Spatula: For gentle folding without deflating the air bubbles.
  • Small Sieve: To give your final dessert that professional powdered sugar dusting.

Method

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add 3 tablespoons of chocolate spread and 2 eggs. Whisk them together until completely smooth and well combined.

  2. Sift in the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Whisk gently until there are no lumps and the batter is silky.

  3. Generously grease your oven-safe ramekins or soufflé cups with butter.

  4. Divide the batter evenly among the cups (this recipe makes about 3 portions).

  5. Drop one small teaspoon of chocolate spread directly into the center of each cup. Do not stir it in; it will sink and create the "lava" effect.

  6. Place in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) using the fan/convection setting. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Note: Watch closely! The edges should be firm, but the center should still look slightly soft.

  7. Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately while the center is still liquid.

Notes

For a gooey molten center, freeze the extra chocolate spread portions for 15–20 minutes before placing them in the middle of the batter — this helps them stay soft and creamy after baking.
