Deliciously rich Pistachio Chocolate Lava Cakes with a warm, gooey center that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup pistachio paste, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g)
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate (60–70%), chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (70g)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the white chocolate chips with heavy cream in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Incorporate the pistachio paste and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Spoon into a silicone mold or ice cube tray to form six equal discs, then freeze for at least 1 hour until solid.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease six 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. Arrange ramekins on a baking tray for stability.
  3. Gently melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together in a small saucepan or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until thick and pale, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking until fully combined. Fold in the all-purpose flour carefully until just incorporated, avoiding overmixing.
  4. Divide two tablespoons of chocolate batter into the bottom of each prepared ramekin. Place one frozen pistachio disc in the center, then cover with additional batter until three-quarters full.
  5. Bake the ramekins for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are firm but centers remain slightly jiggly. Remove from oven and rest for 1 minute. Loosen edges with a knife if needed, invert onto serving plates, garnish with chopped pistachios if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the pistachio discs are fully frozen before baking for best results.
  • Do not overbake the lava cakes to maintain a gooey center.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
