Equipment
- Saucepan
- Double boiler
- pie dish
Ingredients
- 1/4 stick butter
- 1 1/3 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 sticks butter
- 7 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 3/4 cup flour
- 16 Kinder chocolate bars
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and then add the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, making sure that it doesn't burn. Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and let cool for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a double boiler to melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate and stir until smooth. Remove the top section of the double boiler, add the eggs, sugar, salt, and flour to the chocolate mixture, and mix well.
- Take the cooled chocolate lava mixture out of the refrigerator and form small balls out of it.
- Pour half of the chocolate cake batter into a pie dish. Push the chocolate lava balls into the first layer of cake batter and pour the rest of the cake batter over the chocolate lava balls.
- Transfer the pie dish to the oven and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F. Cut the Kinder chocolate bars lengthwise into even strips and place them on top of the chocolate cake so that the surface is completely covered. Transfer the pie dish back to the oven and bake at 250°F for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate bars have melted.
