I believe that is what it's called. They serve it as dessert in many restaurants. It's a hot chocolate cake with runny melted hot chocolate in the center....YUM.

Anybody have a recipe please?

Is this what youre talking about??

Molten Chocolate Cakes

Ganache:

4 oz. semisweet chocolate

1/2 C. whipping cream

Grate the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Bring the whipping cream just to a boil and pour it over the chocolate. Slowly stir until smooth. Transfer the mixture into a shallow glass dish and let it cool slightly, about 10 minutes, the place it in the freezer to chill, 1 hour.

Scoop out 10 balls using a 1/2 t. measuring spoon and shape them so they're round. Chill until ready to use.

Cake:

14 oz. bittersweet chocolate

1 1/4 C. butter

1 T. flour

10 egg yolks

7 T. sugar

Nonstick cooking spray

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Heat the oven to 375°F.

Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler set over, but not touching, simmering water. Stir in the flour and remove from the heat to cool slightly.

Whip the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer and slowly add the sugar until the whisk leaves a thick ribbon that stays on top of the batter when it is lifted out, about 5 minutes.

Pour the chocolate into the yolk-sugar mixture and gently fold them together.

Spray 10 (½-cup) ramekins with cooking spray. Half-fill each with chocolate batter, place 1 ganache ball in the center and then continue filling to the top with more batter.

Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. (The recipe can be made ahead to this point up to 1 hour in advance and stored at room temperature, or 1 week in advance and frozen, tightly covered.)

Bake the cakes until they begin to pull away from the sides of the ramekins, 13 to 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.

Serves 10.

I never made it so I cant tell you how they are but they sound amazing...enjoy!

I made the hot chocolate ramekins on chanukah for desserts for our parties.
I used Susie Fishbeins recipe from quick on time.
It's heavenly and not too hard to make.

make the cake-like duncan hines brownies and pour them into ramekins cook for about 15 minutes until outside is cooked and inside is still a bit runny. Serve with scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The easiest recipe for a fancy dessert.

I dont remember exactly which one I use, but I dont think it matters. On the back of the box there is a choice to make cake-like brownies or fudgy ones and you should make the cake-like ones. if you look at the recipe in Susie Fishbeins cook book, she uses a reg brownie recipe as well, this is simpler bec you dont have to make the whole thing from scratch.

I love ramekins! They are so much fun to use! I use mine to make little apple cobblers, mini shepherds pies, hot chocolate souffles, and whatever else I can think of.

Greeneyes, I love those little ramekins, too, but never know what to use them for. Do you have a recipe for apple cobbler that I can make in the ramekins? Thanks.

Maya, I was also going to recommend that recipe from KBD kids in the kitchen that ss321 posted. I know you asked specifically for an apple cobbler recipe, but another really yummy recipe is the peach and berry crisp in KBD entertains. If you don't have the cookbook, and you'd like the recipe, let me know!

in case anyone's still looking, I posted this somewhere else- not sure which one. you can use ramekins instead of cupcake holders/ muffin tins- this recipe is very easy Wink

Molten Chocolate Surprise

4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate (I just use the same oz. of chocolate chips)
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup flour
12 CHIPS AHOY! Real Chocolate Chip Cookies (Lieber's makes great substitute- I think they're called Chip's Wow??- perfect size and texture)
Whipped Cream (garnish, I like vanilla ice cream instead)

PREHEAT oven to 425°F.

Melt chocolate and margarine in large pot. Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Beat whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar and flour with wire whisk until well blended. Gradually add to chocolate mixture, beating constantly until well blended.

LINE 12 medium muffin cups with paper liners; spray with cooking spray. Place 1 cookie, upside-down, on bottom of each cup; cover evenly with batter.

BAKE 8 min. or until cakes are firm around edges but still soft in centers. Let stand 1 min. Carefully remove cakes from muffin pan. Invert onto dessert dishes (I do this right before serving instead of right after baking); remove paper liners. Serve with whipped topping.
