Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream

Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream

Few desserts strike the perfect balance between elegance and comfort quite like a warm chocolate lava cake paired with creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s the kind of treat that feels indulgent yet surprisingly simple to whip up for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 pasture-raised egg yolks
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 4 scoops premium vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Generously grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust lightly with flour, tapping out the excess.
  2. In a double boiler over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated. Tip: Ensure the mixture is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the eggs.
  4. Stir in the lightly beaten eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  5. Sift the flour and sea salt into the chocolate mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cakes light.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Tip: The cakes should jiggle slightly when shaken.
  7. Let the cakes rest for 1 minute, then invert onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Tip: For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or fresh berries.

Gooey centers ooze rich chocolate upon the first spoonful, contrasting beautifully with the cool, creamy ice cream. Try serving these cakes with a drizzle of caramel or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra layer of flavor.

Salted Caramel Brownies

Salted Caramel Brownies

Delightfully decadent and irresistibly gooey, these salted caramel brownies are your next baking project. You’ll love the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with a fudgy texture that’s downright addictive.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup salted caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth. Tip: Ensure the butter is just warm to the touch to avoid cooking the eggs.
  3. Add the lightly beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, whisking vigorously until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.
  4. Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Drizzle 1/2 cup of salted caramel sauce over the batter, then top with the remaining batter. Tip: Use a knife to swirl the caramel slightly into the top layer for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Immediately after removing from the oven, drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Tip: The residual heat will help the caramel meld beautifully into the brownies.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment overhang and slicing into squares.

Rich and fudgy with pockets of molten caramel, these brownies are a showstopper. Serve them slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Ah, banana pudding with vanilla wafers—it’s the kind of dessert that feels like a hug in a bowl. You know, the perfect mix of creamy, sweet, and just a tad nostalgic. Let’s dive into making this comforting classic.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 4 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers
  • 4 ripe medium bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt until well combined.

  3. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens to the consistency of a loose pudding, about 10 minutes. Tip: Keep the heat at medium to avoid scorching the milk.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat. Temper 4 large lightly beaten pasture-raised eggs by gradually whisking in 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture, then return the tempered eggs to the saucepan, whisking continuously.

Repeat the layers twice more, ending with pudding on top. Tip: For the best texture, let the pudding sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the wafers to soften.

Zesty yet comforting, this banana pudding strikes the perfect balance between sweet and creamy, with the vanilla wafers adding a delightful crunch. Serve it chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth.

  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in the whole milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender topping.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the cherry mixture, then sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly around the edges.
  8. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

Mmm, the cobbler’s topping is wonderfully crisp, while the cherries underneath are juicy and bursting with flavor. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Cinnamon Sugar Churros

Cinnamon Sugar Churros

Craving something sweet and crunchy? You’re in for a treat with these homemade Cinnamon Sugar Churros, perfectly golden and dusted with a cozy cinnamon-sugar mix that’ll have you reaching for more.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, for coating
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon, for coating
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, and 1/3 cup unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the butter is fully melted.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1 minute. Tip: This step is crucial for the right dough consistency.
  3. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Gradually add 2 lightly beaten pasture-raised eggs and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F. Pipe 6-inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil using a star-shaped piping tip, cutting the dough with scissors. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Tip: Maintain the oil temperature for evenly cooked churros.
  5. Remove the churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels for 30 seconds. While still warm, roll them in a mixture of 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tsp ground cinnamon. Tip: Rolling them warm helps the sugar stick better.

Serve these churros warm for the ultimate experience—crispy on the outside, soft and tender inside, with a sweet cinnamon hug in every bite. Pair them with a dark chocolate dipping sauce for an extra indulgent twist.
