How to Make Nuts For You Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease six jumbo muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolks until light and frothy.
  5. Gently fold the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  6. Stir in the flour and chopped nuts until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and slightly gooey.
  9. Let the cakes stand in the muffin tin for 1 minute. Carefully run a small knife or offset spatula around the edges to loosen.
  10. Invert the cakes onto dessert plates or individual serving dishes.
  11. Serve immediately, topped with Cool Whip or powdered sugar, if desired.
  12. **To make batter a day ahead:** Prepare the batter as directed and pour it into greased jumbo muffin cups. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before baking as directed.
