Method
Lava Cake Directions
- 1
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, large eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.

Combine Mixtures
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.

Add Dry Ingredients
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the chocolate mixture. Gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Bake
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

Cool Slightly
Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 1 minute before inverting onto plates.

Prepare Ice Cream
Scoop the ice cream into the wafer cones, filling them generously. Place them upright in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.

Melt Chocolate
While the ice cream firms up, melt the melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.

Dip Cones
Remove the ice cream cones from the freezer and quickly dip the tops into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.

Add Nuts
Immediately sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate-dipped tops before the chocolate sets. Return the cones to the freezer for another 10 minutes.
