Gluten Free Chocolate Lava Cakes
My gluten free chocolate lava cake recipe is so easy to make and exploding with chocolate! You won't believe it's 100% dairy free and low FODMAP.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 100g dark dairy free chocolate
- 100g dairy free spread
- 50g gluten free plain flour
- 150g light soft brown sugar
- 3 large eggs (egg replacer can be used here to make this vegan very easily)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C.
- Prepare your mini baking pudding basins. Just spread a little dairy free spread over the bottom and sides.
- Put your chocolate and dairy free spread in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave carefully until fully melted (I do mine on a mid heat and check/stir every 20 seconds or so to ensure the chocolate doesn't burn). You could also melt it on the hob in a bain-marie if you prefer. Once melted allow your mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Thoroughly mix in your brown sugar using a spoon or spatula.
- Add your eggs one at a time. Mixing completely inbetween each one.
- Mix in your vanilla extract and finally finish by stiring in your gluten free plain flour.
- Pour your mixture into your mini baking pudding basins, about 2/3 full.
- Place in the centre of your preheated oven for 9-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven (the edges and top should be slightly firm but the centre softer and squidgy!)
- Turn each pudding out onto a serving plate (I put my plate on top of the pudding basin and then turn it over before lifting it off to reveal the lava cake)
- Serve straight away on their own or maybe with a little ice cream!
Notes
* Of course if you don't need to make this dairy free you can use butter instead of dairy free spread and any dark chocolate you like. It's up to you :)
* I definitely recommend using mini pudding moulds, made from the same material as a baking sheet. The non stick helps massively as the puddings just slide out beautifully.
* Timing is really important and I know ovens vary. For me 9-10 minutes is perfect. A little over or under might work for you too. Plus it depends how firm or oozing you want your lava cake to be!
*You can definitely make this vegan using an egg replacer for the eggs too. This has been tried and tested by many people now and it works a treat!
