Description
A delicious and indulgent dessert that combines the flavors of red velvet cake and cookies & cream in a molten lava cake form.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and red food coloring until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Add a tablespoon of cream cheese in the center of each ramekin, then sprinkle crushed cookies and chocolate chips on top. Cover with the remaining batter.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift it off. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or additional crushed cookies.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- Try substituting the cream cheese with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for a different molten center.
