Nucolato Lava Cake

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 large Egg Yolk
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, plus extra for greasing molds
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sweetener (e.g., monk fruit)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Nucolato
  • 3.5 oz Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks

STEPS

  1. Preheat oven to 395°F (200°C). Grease 2 small round molds/ramekins with butter, then dust lightly with cocoa powder.
  2. In a mixer, beat egg, egg yolk, and sweetener for 2-3 minutes until pale and dissolved.
  3. Add cocoa powder to the egg mixture and beat until just combined.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chunks and butter (30-second intervals, stirring) until smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Gradually add the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the egg mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour half of the batter into each prepared mold.
  7. Place 1 teaspoon of Nucolato in the center of the batter in each mold.
  8. Cover the Nucolato with the remaining chocolate batter.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 395°F (200°C) until edges are set but the center is still molten.
  10. Carefully unmold or serve directly.
