Ingredients

for the salted caramel:

½ cups Sugar

½ cups Heavy Cream

1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter

1 pinch Sea Salt

for the lava cakes:

1 stick Unsalted Butter

¾ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

½ cups Sugar

3 whole Eggs

1 pinch Salt

¼ cups All-purpose Flour

1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder, For Dusting

2 Tablespoons Salted Caramel (Recipe Included)

2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter

Preparation

For the salted caramel:

Melt sugar in a pot over a low to medium flame. Do not stir. When sugar has completely dissolved, remove from heat and add = heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up. Return to a low flame and stir until lumps are gone. Stir in butter and salt to taste.

For the lava cakes:

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Combine butter and chocolate chips in a bowl over simmering water and stir gently until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Add sugar and eggs to a large bowl and cream together using a stand or hand mixer. Beat in melted chocolate and salt and fold in flour.

Butter four 8-ounce ramekins or large muffin tin cups and dust with cocoa powder. Divide batter evenly among ramekins.

Add 2 tablespoons salted caramel to peanut butter and stir until fully incorporated. Roll into 4 equal balls and place each ball into center of each ramekin. Push it down into batter until it’s covered.

Bake for 14 minutes and let cool for a couple of minutes before gently running a knife around rim of each ramekin and inverting onto a plate. Serve with additional salted caramel sauce.
