Mmm.. vegan chocolate lava cake.
It’s gooey, melty, full of rich dark chocolate, and usually the crown jewel of any dessert menu. I mean, who doesn’t want to take a giant spoonful of a cake that oozes delicious melty chocolate?
Before making this vegan chocolate lava cake, I hadn’t had it in years. As a teenager I would go to Chili’s every week and order their lava cake. I swear, it barely hit the table before being devoured, plate licked clean.
So yeah, I guess you could say I have a thing for chocolate lava cake. But this one, this one, is very special. For starters, it’s vegan! Yay! No eggs, no milk necessary to make this cake taste amazing. I also made it gluten-free so all of my buddies with gluten allergies can indulge. No one gets left out when making vegan chocolate lava cake!
Another perk of this vegan chocolate lava cake is that it take less than 30 minutes to prepare, from scratch. If you’re looking for a dessert to impress your family and friends over the holidays, this my friends, is the one.
The best part is that you can totally get creative with the filling! The recipe calls for dark chocolate squares, but you could also throw in a little spoonful of peanut butter or a vegan caramel. A spoonful of jam or some vanilla cashew cream would be delightful as well.
The possibilities as endless as your imagination!
This vegan chocolate lava cake definitely has a spot reserved on my holiday table this year. I’m celebrating with my non-vegan family so I want to make a dessert that will really wow them.
Since almost nothing is more appetizing than a gooey chocolate center, this just seems like the obvious choice. Although I will also be making my Healthy Vegan Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies. You know, just to snack on. 🙂
