These easy 5 ingredient Flourless Chocolate Lava Cakes are the perfect dessert for any month and season of the year. They are ready to serve in under 30 minutes and are best served warm right out of the oven with cold ice cream of your choice! I decided to serve them with a simple strawberry banana ice cream. You can find the recipe for the ice cream here below as well.
Instead of granulated sugar or confectioners’ sugar like a classic chocolate lava cake has, I use coconut sugar that I blend together with cornstarch to give me the consistency of powdered coconut sugar.
What If I Don’t Have Coconut Sugar?
If you don’t have coconut sugar or simply just want to save time by not making your own powdered coconut sugar. That’s perfectly ok! You can use ½ cup regular confectioners sugar or granulated sugar.
If You Want To Add In Flour:
Add in 1 tbsp of the flour of your choice whether it’s regular flour, almond flour, coconut flour etc.
Banana Ice Cream Flavor Tip:
Instead of the frozen strawberries add in 1-2 tbsp of natural peanut butter for a chocolate lava cake peanut butter banana ice cream combo.
Serving Suggestion:
You can also serve these chocolate lava cakes with fresh berries and whipped cream instead of ice cream.
