Delicious single serve vegan chocolate lava cake filled with a gooey salted caramel.
I shared a little recipe test on my Instagram stories of this and you guys went CRAZY for it! So here I am, giving you guys what you want. I also had a lot of requests for this to be vegan so I went ahead and did that too.
If you’re not vegan and would like an alternative option, I also like to use Carnation caramel in the centre or Nutella!
With Valentines day around the corner this gooey chocolate lava cake makes the perfect indulgent dessert. Made to serve one, because not everyone needs two lava cakes, but the quantities can easily be doubled to make two delicious desserts!
The homemade caramel is super simple, the combination of peanut butter, maple syrup and a drop of vanilla extract really gives an amazing caramel flavour. I also like to add a pinch of salt if my peanut butter isn’t salted!
