Description
Volcano Muffins: soft on the outside, gooey on the inside
Ingredients
Scale
- 150g chocolate truffles
- 80g mascarpone cheese
- 200g margarine
- 200g demerara sugar
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 100g flour
- 80g cocoa powder
- 50g ground almonds (or grind your own from regular almonds)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F.
- In the microwave, melt the chocolate truffles.
- Stir in the mascarpone cheese and whisk until smooth.
- Pop this in the fridge while you prep the rest.
- Grab a 12-cup muffin tin (the large kind) and line it with paper muffin cups.
- Beat the margarine and sugar together until fluffy.
- Slowly add the eggs and keep mixing until smooth.
- Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, and ground almonds. A hand mixer works great here.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway. Use a spoon to make a little dip in the center.
- Drop about 1 teaspoon of the chilled chocolate mixture into the middle of each muffin. Cover with more batter until almost full.
-
Bake for about 10 minutes, just until they’re set on top.
Hot Tip:
Warm your muffin in the microwave for 10–20 seconds before eating. The center melts into gooey chocolate lava. You’ll want more than one.
