If I had my way, EVERY food would be filled with a gooey chocolate center, but unfortunately there are things like &ldquo;vegetables&rdquo; and &ldquo;fruits&rdquo; and &ldquo;grains&rdquo; in this world, all of which are healthy, none of which involve molten chocolate inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we&rsquo;ve gotta take our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/tag\/chocolate\/\">chocolate pleasures<\/a> where we can get them. Think about it: is there anything better than a single-serving cake filled with ooey, gooey chocolate that flows out of it like lava when you take a bite? Top that baby with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/category\/ice-cream-and-frozen-desserts\/\">ice cream<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/tag\/whipped-cream\/\">whipped cream<\/a>, and a drizzle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/hot-fudge-sauce-recipe\/\">chocolate sauce<\/a>, and you&rsquo;ve got perfection on a plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love peppermint?

However, this method relies on precise and consistent timing. When I was working in restaurants, I got into the habit of adding a chocolate truffle to the center of my lava cakes before baking. This ensured that they ALWAYS had a perfectly gooey center, no matter what kitchen mishaps might befall&ndash;baked a few extra minutes? Left to languish in the refrigerator for a day or two? No problem, just heat them up and you&rsquo;re back to lava territory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since then, I&rsquo;ve made my lava cakes this way, and I&rsquo;m never disappointed. They always have a liquid center, and the additional chocolate from the melted truffle just makes them taste even better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re craving more chocolate in your life, don&rsquo;t miss some of our most popular chocolate recipes: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/ultimate-fudgy-chocolate-brownies\/\">Ultimate Fudgy Chocolate Brownies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/slow-cooker-hot-chocolate\/\">Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/chocolate-peppermint-kiss-cookies\/\">Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/chocolate-tiramisu\/\">Chocolate Tiramisu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"%f0%9f%a7%be-what-youll-need\">&#129534; What You&rsquo;ll Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Chocolate lovers will go crazy for this Peppermint Lava Cakes recipe - mini chocolate cakes with a hint of peppermint and a molten chocolate center.

Since all of the cake&rsquo;s flavor comes from the chocolate, it&rsquo;s important to use a high-quality, flavorful chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. Using old or waxy chocolate chips will produce disappointing results! Instead, get quality semi-sweet chocolate bars and chop them up for this recipe. I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3iQBbsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Trader Joe&rsquo;s Pound Plus Bars<\/a>, if those are available to you. Other good options are Lindt, Guittard, and Ghirardelli bars. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Unsweetened chocolate:<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> The cake batter uses a small amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BvCRy1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">unsweetened chocolate<\/a> to deepen the flavor. If you don&rsquo;t have unsweetened, you can use a bittersweet chocolate instead, or just use more semi-sweet. The cake will still be delicious, just a touch sweeter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Butter:<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> We&rsquo;re using butter in the cake batter, and also just a bit in the ganache filling to make it extra rich and creamy. I recommend using unsalted butter in this recipe, but if you have salted butter, leave out the additional salt in the cake batter.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Cream:<\/strong><\/span> I like heavy cream best for the rich texture it gives to ganache, but you can use whipping cream if that&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s available to you.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Eggs &amp; yolks<\/strong>:<\/span> This recipe uses four eggs and four egg yolks, to make a supremely tender and melting cake texture. Here&rsquo;s my full&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/how-to-separate-eggs\/?swcfpc=1\">guide to separating egg yolks and whites<\/a>&nbsp;if you need a refresher, and don&rsquo;t forget to save the egg whites for a future batch of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/meringue-cookies\/?swcfpc=1\">Meringue Cookies<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/swiss-meringue-buttercream-recipe\/?swcfpc=1\">buttercream<\/a>!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Peppermint extract:<\/span><\/strong> Peppermint extract adds a brisk, refreshing flavor that&rsquo;s a perfect contrast to the rich chocolate! It&rsquo;s easy to find in grocery stores, usually in the baking or spices section. If you&rsquo;re purchasing online, I prefer this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FtS1q0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peppermint Bakery Emulsion<\/a>&nbsp;from LorAnn over a traditional alcohol-based extract. It can stand up to high heat, so the flavor doesn&rsquo;t evaporate during baking and it produces consistent results, every time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Candy cane bits:<\/span><\/strong> I like to sprinkle a pinch of crushed candy canes bits on top of the cakes right before serving. You can either crush up candy canes yourself, or purchase a bag of candy cane pieces. Sometimes called &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HejWvc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Candy Cane Bits<\/a>,&rdquo; these little minty pieces are super convenient, and a great way to add candy cane taste and texture to your desserts!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Powdered sugar:<\/span><\/strong> Powdered sugar is whipped with the eggs to create a super frothy cake base. It is important to use powdered sugar and not substitute granulated or brown sugar in this recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"Chocolate lovers will go crazy for this Peppermint Lava Cakes recipe - mini chocolate cakes with a hint of peppermint and a molten chocolate center.

No problem! Omit the peppermint extract and you have a delicious, deep dark lava cake. You can also swap in other extracts, like orange, lemon, almond, or coconut, to make a wide variety of different lava cake flavors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leave out the truffle centers:<\/strong> if you are pressed for time or just want to simplify, you can omit the truffle center entirely. The cakes will still have a melting chocolate center as long as you don&rsquo;t overbake them. They won&rsquo;t be as gooey, but some people prefer them that way!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>White chocolate center:<\/strong> you can make a white chocolate truffle to put in the center instead. Follow the recipe but reduce the cream to 1\/4 cup instead, and dust your hands with powdered sugar instead of cocoa powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peppermint mocha variation:<\/strong> Who doesn&rsquo;t love a good peppermint mocha? Add 2 tsp of instant espresso powder when adding the melted chocolate in step 4 to give your cakes a light coffee undertone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"Chocolate lovers will go crazy for this Peppermint Lava Cakes recipe - mini chocolate cakes with a hint of peppermint and a molten chocolate center.

Heat the remaining ganache in short bursts and whisk until smooth to make a chocolate sauce you can drizzle over the cakes. These cakes are best enjoyed warm, so the centers are still fluid when you cut into them.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-21959-step-1-8\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span style=\"display: block;\">If you want to make the lava cakes in advance, they keep very well for up to a week. You can store them in the ramekins, or remove them carefully and store them on a baking sheet. However you do it, make sure they&rsquo;re well-wrapped in plastic wrap, so they don&rsquo;t dry out, and keep them in the refrigerator. <\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-21959-step-1-9\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span style=\"display: block;\">To serve lava cakes that have been made in advance, warm them up in the microwave for 20-30 seconds (err on the shorter side to start!) so that the inside becomes molten chocolate again.
