Ingredients

4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 stick butter
2 cups powdered sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon hazelnut extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Nonstick spray
1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur
Nutella
Vanilla ice cream
Chocolate shavings

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spray 8 small custard cups or souffle dishes with nonstick spray. Place on baking sheet.

Heat chocolate and butter in large glass bowl resting over a pan of boiling water until butter is melted. Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar until well blended. Blend in eggs 1 at a time, so that the eggs do not cook. Stir in Hazelnut extract and flour.

Divide batter evenly among prepared and nonstick sprayed custard cups, about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand 1 minute.

Invert cakes onto dessert dishes and top with a little hazelnut liqueur and a spoonful of nutella on each lava cake.

Serve immediately, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate shavings.

My guests and I loved this, but I had to have an assistant with all the serving things going on... the liquor, nuttella,... icecream, to get it to the table hot... It is the most impressive delicious dessert I make!Read more

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was so easy and delicious. I cut the recipe in half and didn't have any hazelnut'ish stuff on hand, so I cut... that out and just topped with semi-sweet chocolate. Tip: When in doubt, take it out. If it looks like it's slightly set, take it out immediately.Read more

Decadence!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A delicious, super easy recipe. Don't worry that it becomes stiff, almost unmanageable once you add the powdered sugar...as... soon as you add the eggs it becomes fluid and smooth. A fabulous dessert that takes minutes to make. I didn't decorate with nutella...might have been chocolate overload!Read more
