Chocolate Lava Cake With Ice Cream And Whipped Cream Recipe

Prepare Chocolate Lava Cake

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your ramekins with butter. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, then slowly mix in melted butter and chocolate. Combine dry and wet ingredients until smooth. Pour the batter into the ramekins, placing a piece of chocolate in the center of each for the molten effect. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

Make Berry Coulis

Combine berries, sugar, water, and a splash of lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the berries break down and the sauce thickens. Strain to remove seeds, if desired, for a smoother sauce.

Prepare Vanilla Ice Cream

Mix milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add food coloring if desired to achieve the rainbow effect. Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a creamy consistency. Freeze until firm.

Whip the Cream

Chill a bowl and beaters in the fridge. Whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract in the chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.

Assemble the Dessert

Unmold the chocolate lava cake onto a plate. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle the berry coulis around the plate and dust the dish with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
