I think almost everyone who knows me knows that I am not a big fan of chocolate desserts. Chocolate by itself, I love. But cakes, fudge, brownie-nope! Of course there are some exceptions like Ghirardelli's brownies and Oreo cookie dessert. But generally, I don't make much chocolaty desserts at home.
Anyway, so last weekend, I had a girls night-in at my home. It was an after dinner 'desserts and drinks' kind of get together. I decided to serve hot, cold and ready to eat desserts including Baklava, Gulkand icecream, Kulfi. I was still in the middle of making up my mind on hot dessert. The only thing I was sure was of doing individual servings. I realized that chocolate dessert is favorite of all my friends. I am the odd one out! And though I don't eat it, the Molten Lava cake always makes my mind say OOOOs and AAAAs. I wondered how it worked! You know a mountain of chocolate filled with lava of chocolate! It seemed very tricky. But I decided to do a search last week and find out what it takes to make a good Lava cake. Well, it turns out its super easy with minimum ingredients. You just need to make sure to use good quality chocolate and stay very alert while the mini-cakes are baking. So are you ready to make and enjoy this delectable dessert this weekend which is now on my 'Chocolate desserts I eat' list?
