Nothing can beat a gooey chocolate lava cake for dessert. We’ve made the classic even better by adding a spoonful of our Hazelnut Protein Cream to the center for an extra chocolate hit. Try serving with a spoonful of yoghurt for a creamy, tangy topping to cut through the sweetness.

Ingredients

1 Person

  • 25 g
    dark chocolate
  • 20 g
    Coconut oil
  • 1 tsp
    coconut sugar
  • 1
    egg, separated
  • 1 tsp
    Protein Cream Hazelnut

Preparation

  • 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F fan (200C / 400F non-fan).

  • 2

    Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until just melted. Remove the bowl from the pan and set aside to cool until only just warm.

  • 3

    Add the protein powder and egg yolk to the melted chocolate and mix until smooth.

  • 4

    Whip egg white in a separate, clean bowl until you get stiff peaks then whisk in the coconut sugar.

  • 5

    Mix half of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to loosen. Add this back into the bowl of egg whites and gently fold together to combine.

  • 6

    Grease a ramekin or small, heatproof dish with a thin layer of coconut oil and dust with cocoa powder. Set on a baking tray.

  • 7

    Pour the batter into the ramekin and dot the spoonful of protein cream into the middle. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centre is still runny.

  • 8

    Allow to cool slightly then tip out onto a plate and serve warm.
