Amaretto & chocolate lava little cakes

A real gluttony, that you can make in advance, keep in fridge and cook at the last moment. I usally cook it for dinners with friends ‘cause it’s so practical for me and indispensabile for my guests (they could say “no” to a pie, but they never do it to this! :-). Here I decided to combine it with the delicious flavor of amaretto, do you know it? Yum!

SERVES 4 PEOPLE
READY IN 20’

 

INGREDIENTS

1 dark chocolate bar

3 oz butter

 

2 eggs

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

Amaretto cookies to taste

2 tablespoons Amaretto liquor

 

Butter & cocoa powder to taste (for the molds)

 

amaretti  cookies to taste for decoration

 

 

STEP 1: MELT THE CHOCOLATE

Place chocolate and butter in a non-stick pan and let melt in water bath.

 

STEP 2: MIX THE INGREDIENTS

In the meantime beat eggs and sugar with an electric beater. Then add – little by little – chocolate (when cold), all-purpose flour, vanilla extract and salt. Mix carefully.

 

STEP 3: FILL THE MOLDS

Brush 4 molds with melted butter, then sprinkle with cocoa powder (remove the surplus) +. Fill the molds with the mixture, then dip amaretto cookies into amaretto liquor and place one of them into each mold.

 

STEP 4: COOK

Cook the cakes in preheated oven at 200°C for about 12-13 minutes. When ready, overturn the little cakes  and decore with amaretto cookies.

A PIECE OF ADVICE: The recipe is very easy, you only have to be careful with the cooking time! Little cakes must puff up and come off to the mold when ready.
