4-Ingredient Molten Lava Cakes

Adapted from a recipe by Mark Bittman, this 4-Ingredient Molten Lava Cake is the perfect dessert for a special occasion or holiday event. You won't believe how easy it is to make and how delicious it tastes. While it does break the real food rules, we're allowed to treat ourselves in moderation.

Ingreadient

• 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks (discard or use egg whites elsewhere)
• 2 tablespoons sugar

Step by step

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and line a muffin pan with parchment paper muffin liners.
2. Melt butter and chocolate chips together over low heat until smooth. Let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
4. Divide among 10 standard muffin cups and bake until cakes are puffed up, but still jiggly in the center – about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn out upside down onto a plate, garnish, and serve immediately.
