Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the ramekins
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, best quality such as Ghirardelli
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
Confectioners sugar, vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream, and berries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Generously butter six 6-ounce ramekins (really be generous, and do not substitute non-stick cooking spray). Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  • Melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave. Immediately add the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. If a few chunks remain, place the bowl back in the microwave for 20 seconds, then stir again. Repeat if necessary. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle or beaters, beat the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla and salt at high speed until thickened and pale, about 4 minutes. Add the melted chocolate mixture and flour to the egg mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined (the chocolate sinks to the bottom so be sure to scrape it up into the batter).
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins and bake for 10 minutes, until the cakes are set and puffed over the edges of the ramekins. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 to 2 minutes; then, holding the hot ramekins with a dish towel, carefully invert the cakes onto dessert plates. They should pop right out, but you can run a thin-bladed knife around the edges if necessary. Serve immediately. (It's important not to let the cakes sit after baking, as the centers will continue to cook.)
  • Make-Ahead Instructions: The batter can be spooned into the ramekins, covered and refrigerated for several hours before baking. Take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes before baking so they come to room temperature.

MOLTEN CHURRO BOMBS RECIPE BY TASTY



Molten Churro Bombs Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: water, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, all-purpose flour, large eggs, vanilla extract, milk chocolate truffles, oil, sugar, cinnamon, piping bag

Provided by Julie Klink

Categories     Desserts

Yield 18 bombs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/2 stick
½ cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
18 milk chocolate truffles
oil, for frying
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 piping bag, with a small closed star tip

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and the salt, and bring to a boil.
  • As soon as the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together to form a ball, about 1 minute.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes before proceeding to avoid accidentally cooking the eggs.
  • Mix in the eggs, 1 at a time, fully incorporating each egg before adding the next. Then add the vanilla.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a closed star tip.
  • Pipe 18 1½-inch (3 cm) spiral rounds onto the baking sheet. Top each with a milk chocolate truffle. Pipe the dough in a spiral to cover the truffles, being careful to completely seal the chocolate. Immediately transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze for 1 hour, until solid.
  • Heat the oil in a deep pot until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Fry in batches of 4 until nicely browned, about 3 minutes, turning so they fry evenly. Drain on a cooling rack, or paper towel-lined plate and dab off any excess oil.
  • Combine the remaining ½ cup sugar (100 G) and the cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the warm churro bombs in the mixture to coat.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will make a big difference in the taste of your molten chocolate hot lava bombs. Choose a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of and makes suitable for baking.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the lava bombs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the lava bombs before baking: Chilling the lava bombs before baking will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the lava bombs just until the centers are set: The lava bombs should be slightly underbaked so that the centers are still molten when you serve them.
  • Serve the lava bombs immediately: The lava bombs are best served immediately after they are baked, while the centers are still molten.

Conclusion:

Molten chocolate hot lava bombs are a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple tips, you can make perfect molten chocolate hot lava bombs that will be a hit with your family and friends.
