Molten Chocolate Espresso Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with butter and dust with sugar; tap out excess. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let cool.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, espresso powder, and salt. With a mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until completely incorporated. Add flour mixture; beat until combined. Beat in vanilla and chocolate.
• Spoon batter into prepared cups. Bake until cakes no longer jiggle when tin is shaken, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 10 minutes before turning out cakes. Spread ganache over tops and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Grease bottoms and sides of 6 (6-oz) custard cups with butter; sprinkle with cocoa. Place on 15x10x1-inch pan.
• In 2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate and 3/4 cup butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in espresso powder, vanilla and cinnamon.
• In large bowl, beat eggs and powdered sugar with electric mixer on low speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until blended. Gradually add chocolate mixture, beating on low speed, then gradually add Bisquick mix, beating until blended. Divide batter evenly among custard cups.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until sides are set and centers are still soft (tops will be puffed and slightly cracked). Let stand 3 minutes.
• Serve in cups, or to unmold before serving, run small knife or metal spatula along sides of cakes to loosen. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down over each cup; turn plate and cup over and remove cup. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions, adding espresso powder before mixing. Transfer to a greased 4-qt. slow cooker., In a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix 2 minutes. Let stand until soft-set, about 2 minutes. Pour over batter. Cook, covered, on low 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in cake portion comes out with moist crumbs., Sprinkle top with chocolate chips and baking chips. Turn off slow cooker; remove insert. Let stand, uncovered, until chips are softened, 15-30 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a medium pot over high heat until hot, but not boiling. Reduce the heat to very low and add the espresso, chocolate, sugar, and vanilla. Using a whisk, stir the mixture until the chocolate has melted. Continue to whisk the chocolate mixture until frothy every few minutes for about 8 minutes, until the chocolate has completely dissolved into the milk. Pour into mugs and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- or 14- ounce ceramic, microwave- safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1 ½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.
• Let cool briefly- it will collapse-sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot-be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Instructions for Cake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter the round molds with the unsalted butter and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess cocoa.
• Melt the extra bitter chocolate and the unsalted butter in a double boiler.
• In an electric mixer, beat the eggs, yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Stir in the chocolate/butter mixture.
• Add all the flour and mix until just incorporated.
• Pipe or carefully spoon the batter into the prepared molds, filling no more than 1/2 full.
• Place the filled molds on a baking sheet.
• Refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes.
• The batter will hold overnight in the refrigerator after it's been put into the molds.
• Bake for 7 to 9 minutes.
• The tops will have cracks, the sides will be set, but the centers will be very soft.
• Instructions for Espresso Creme Anglaise: Whisk the yolks and the sugar together until thickened and pale yellow.
• In a small pot warm the cream just to the boiling point over medium heat.
• While whisking, add some of the hot cream into the egg mixture.
• Pour into the pot with the rest of the cream and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon.
• Add the espresso.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.
• When cakes are done, drizzle with the creme.
