6 Ingredient Chocolate Lava Cake

Chocolate Lava Cakes are the perfect cake for a special occasion. You only need 6 ingredients and in less than 10 minutes you have a dessert that looks like you spent hours in the kitchen! I’m serving this at our Valentine’s Dinner this year. It’s perfect for any special occasion or it’s so easy you can make it anytime!

An Easy Dessert that Looks Fancy

The outside of the cake is pure chocolate goodness, but when you scoop into the center it’s filled with a gooey chocolate center that spills out. Very impressive and definitely decadent. This is our family Chocolate Lava Cake recipe that I shared a couple of years ago on the blog.

Keto Dessert That is Low-Carb and Sugar-Free

Since I’ve been doing a low-carb, no sugar diet since the beginning of the year I wondered if I could alter this recipe for the folks that are doing no sugar, Keto or Weight Watchers.

It took a couple of tries before the recipe came out right. To make it sugar free I used Splenda Natural sweetener which is made with stevia and doesn’t have an aftertaste. And to make it Keto-friendly I use coconut flour instead of regular flour. I had to reduce the amount of coconut flour because it bakes differently than regular flour. And reduce the amount of sugar because the Splenda Natural sweetener has a more intense sugar flavor than regular sugar. But in the end these little cakes are so good!

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes minutes

Total Time 13 minutes minutes

Servings 4

Ingredients

• 6 T. butter
• 8 ounces 90% or higher dark chocolate
• 4 large eggs
• 1 t. salt
• 1/3 c. keto-friendly powdered sweetener like Splenda Natural Stevia
• 2 T. coconut flour
• 2 T. butter to butter ramekins
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder to flour ramekins (optional)

Instructions

• Heat oven to 450-degrees. 
• Put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on low setting until melted. I cooked mine for 3 minutes on 50% heat and stirred every minute until it was melted. Set aside to cool down.
• Mix the flour, sugar and eggs together in a mixer until they are a light yellow color. About 5 minutes. 
• Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until combined. 
• You can refrigerate the mixture for up to a day to use it. If you do refrigerate it, be sure to let it come to room temperature before you bake. 
• Butter your ramekins. Then add a coating of flour or cocoa powder. This will help the cakes come out cleanly. 
• Pour the mixture into your ramekins. I used very large ramekins. This recipe will make enough for 6 small ramekins. 
• Put the ramekins in the oven and cook until they start to rise on the edges. You will want the centers to be liquid. I had to adjust the cook time down for this recipe. I think the coconut flour makes them cook more quickly than regular flour. Check them at 6 minutes. If you are using small ramekins they could be done in 6 minutes. They were done in 8 minutes using my larger ramekins. 
• Take them out of the oven and invert them onto serving plates right away. Serve immediately. You can top them with whipped cream and/or berries. 

Chocolate Lava Cakes are Ready in 8 Minutes!

They are a really fun dessert to make. I also love that you can make the batter up the day before and put them in your ramekins. Then the day of your dinner, take them out and let them sit until they get to room temperature and then just pop them in your oven for 8 minutes and you have a spectacular dessert!!

If Dessert was considered a meal in our daily eating regiment, It would certainly be my Favorite meal of the day.

I’m excited to share the recipe for these Gluten & Grain Free Peppermint Patties!

Unfortunately Dessert often comes with high amounts of sugar and sugar is one of those things that causes are bodies some of the most harm. It wreaks havoc on our metabolism, it’s an EMPTY calorie ( that being a whole lot of Calories with No essential nutrients) to much sugar can overload and lead to a Fatty Liver. There are still so many reasons beyond this to say why Sugar is bad for you, but there are just to many to mention. All in All, too much Sugar is bad for your body and quickly turns into unhealthy FAT!!!

Our Bodies are High Functioning, Powerful Machines and they need the proper nutrients to Fuel and Help our bodies run to their Maximum potential. Choosing the foods and ingredients to use can make or break the overall Health and Wellness of your body. Not to mention even that of your entire family and friends. Choosing to Eat Clean often comes with the FEAR that your food is going to be BLAND, BORING, TASTELESS and just plain NO FUN!!! I am hear to tell you just the opposite. You can still choose to Eat Clean and Make Healthier choices, while still enjoying and actually liking the foods you are eating.

One of my TOP ingredients that I will NOT make any exemptions for is SALT! Salt is one of the most IMPORTANT ingredients. WHY? Because are BODIES actually NEED it. It’s just NOT something we can do without. The body needs salt. Why? Because Salt helps control your fluid balance, it also controls the way your muscles and nerves work. Our very cells contain large amounts of salt. Our bodies automatically regulate how much salt, or sodium, that is present.Real Salt is also helpful in cleaning wounds whether in your mouth or on your body. It aids in Hydration, replacing minerals that may have been lost and of course flavoring foods. Remember in all this preparedness is to think you will not have access to any Markets, so try packing items that you know that having Quality is important.

For these Reasons alone REAL SALT is what are family chooses to use. REAL SALT is just what it says it is, REAL! No exceptions, Real Salt® brand sea salt comes from an ancient sea bed in Central Utah, where for more than 30 years we’ve delivered completely natural sea salt — nothing added, nothing taken away. That means you get more than 60 trace minerals in a delicious, healthy salt that is never chemically treated, bleached, or kiln dried.

Here is one of our Valentines Desserts our family enjoys making. Gluten & Grain Free Peppermint Patties. They are so easy and make such a Yummy Dessert for everyone to enjoy. Here’s what’s needed: Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2 1/2 cups Almond Flour, 1/2 tsp Real Salt, 1/4 cup organic pastured butter or coconut oil melted, 2 organic eggs, 1tbs organic Honey, 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar, 3tbs bakers cocoa powder and 2 tbs Raw or Organic Milk.

Add dry ingredients to large bowl and mix. In a medium bowl add wet ingredients and mix. Then add wet ingredients into your dry ingredients bowl about 1/3 cup at a time until all is incorporated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes until tops are golden brown. Once cooled slice in half.

Filling: 8oz Organic Cream Cheese, Gluten Free Peppermint Candies, (optional) 1-2tbs Organic Maple Syrup. Mix Cream Cheese and Maple Syrup until smooth. Fill your sliced GF&GF patties and Roll in your Crushed Peppermint Candies.

If you don’t want to add the Gluten Free Peppermint Candy, you can add Branch Basics Food Grade, Peppermint Essential Oil in place of the candy or even for added peppermint flavor. (which is what we LOVE to do)

These Gluten and Grain Free Peppermint Patties make a wonderful dessert for the entire family to enjoy or even to giveaway as gifts. The BEST thing about them, they’re actually good for!!! You also get to enjoy them with out ALL the added DESSERT guilt.
