Chocolate Lava Cakes [JG]

History:

I found this recipe in the kitchen aid cookbook. This is heaven. Very rich and has a great wow factor. Wonderful for those special occasions... cooking for loved ones, other's loved ones, friends, people you are trying to impress.... fits all those events. Don't make it too often because you will get sick of it.

Recipe:

Center:

56 grams of ghirardhelli 60% cacao chips [1 gram= 1 chip]

1/4 cup heavy cream

Double Boil to combine. Chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, and then form the chocolate into balls.

Cake:

112 grams chips

1 stick butter

2 eggs

2 egg yolks

71 grams sugar

vanilla extract

34 grams cake flour

garnish [fresh fruit, ice cream.... love.... anything can go with these]

Double boil butter and chocolate. While that is going combine the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, sugar and whisk until a thick, light yellow. Temper the chocolate into the egg mixture, add the flour. Cooking spray 5-6 ramekins and them divide the batter into these. Place one ball of previous chocolate into the center. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. RT for ~5 minutes [hard but important]. Run a knife around the side of the ramekin. Put a small plate on top, flip and give a tap. Huzzah! You now have Chocolate Lava Cakes.

Enjoy.
