Ingredients

  • 4 ounces of sugar-free dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup of almond flour
  • 1/4 cup of erythritol or any other keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. You can do this by heating short 15-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each interval. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler over low heat.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture and stir until smooth and evenly combined.
  5. Grease four ramekins or oven-safe bowls with some butter or cooking spray. Divide the batter equally among the ramekins.
  6. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
  7. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cakes, then carefully invert them onto serving plates.
  9. Serve the keto lava cakes warm, and optionally, top them with some sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered erythritol for an extra touch of sweetness.
