These little Caramel Lava Puddings are the absolute bomb! Chocolate pudding on the outside, with a molten lava centre of almond butter and caramel. The first time I made these was for our wedding anniversary (after I ran to photograph them straight from the oven!)

Choc Nut Caramel Lava Puddings

My husband Peter and I took a spoonful each and just looked at each other…you know…one of those shared romantic moments…you know what I mean…and we both just looked a bit stunned for a second…then I said it…”winner winner chicken dinner!” Sorry to ruin the moment, I’m such a dork, but it seemed appropriate at the time. Dumb I know – NOT chicken and NOT dinner but still it felt like a home run moment and I sort of thought that’s what all the cool people say. (Maybe?)

The great thing about these little pots of pudding/lava is the combination of cakey pudding with a slightly crusty top and gooey lava all combining together in one glorious mouthful. YUM

Ingredients

  • 100 g milk chocolate
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 65 g butter roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup single cream pouring
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbsp. plain / all purpose flour sifted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 4 tbsp. almond butter
  • 4 tbsp. thick caramel spread I used Bonne Maman

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 200C/390F.
  • Snap chocolate into squares and combine with butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on full power in 20 second bursts, stirring well after each burst until melted and smooth.
  • Add brown sugar and mix well to combine. Add flour and mix well.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Divide batter between 4 x 11/4 cup capacity oven proof dishes/ramekins and refrigerate uncovered for about 2 hours (this helps create the slight crust on top and stops the caramel mixture sinking straight to the bottom).
  • Combine caramel and almond butter and divide into quarters. Roughly shape each quarter into a ball/blob with 2 spoons and sit one on top of each pudding, pushing down slightly until they are about half submerged.
  • Bake in oven for 20 minutes. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then serve.

Notes

Leaving these puddings to sit for 5 minutes after coming out of the oven is important - the lava part of the pudding is especially hot - even after sitting for 5 mins.
You could use just one flavour of chocolate if you prefer, all dark or all milk. I like the combination of both for the flavours in this recipe so that's why I went half/half.
