Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder, shaking out any excess.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously.
- Gently fold in the almond flour, chopped pistachios, and salt until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Place them on a baking sheet for easier handling.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute.
- Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift off to reveal the lava cake.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional chopped pistachios or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture.
- If you prefer a different nut, substitute the pistachios with chopped walnuts or pecans for a unique twist.
