My daughter needed a quick, but elegant dessert for a youth activity. We came up with this an easy lava cake. You will need the brownie recipe below and a bag of hersey’s kiss or reese’s miniature peanut butter cups. Also some melted chocolate chips and whipped cream for garnishing. What a quick and easy yet very elegant dessert!
( I LOVE these plates! They are disposable and come in a pack of 20 at Kroger for about $3. It makes almost anything seems more special)
Easy Brownie Lava Cakes
2 cups Sugar
1 cup melted butter
1/2 cup cocoa
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Cream together butter and sugar, add the cocoa. Add the vanilla and the eggs one at a time, mixing well. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients together. Gradually add to the sugar mixture mix until well blended.
To make the lava cakes:
spoon into a well greased muffin tin enough batter to cover the bottom. Add an unwrapped miniature reese’s peanut butter cup or Hershey’s kiss. Cover with the remaining batter.
Bake @ 350 for 12-16 minutes. Do not over bake, you want these very moist. Let cool slightly, then invert onto a plate. Garnish with melted chocolate and whipped cream. Serve warm!
My mouth is already watering! Great job, thanks for sharing!
Yummm! These seem quick but oh so delicious 🙂
