Kris and I went on a Carnival cruise for our honeymoon and it was amazing. The people, the casino, the beach -- all of those things were great. But the best part was the food. More specifically, this dessert. Anyone that has ever been on a Carnival cruise knows about it. I think I ordered it 5 out of 6 nights, and Kris had two one night. It's that good.
This recipe came really close to duplicating the one we had on the cruise. The recipe is just the right size for two ramekins and only took about 15 minutes total to make. I mixed the batter before dinner and popped them in the oven right when we finished eating. Perfect, easy dessert.
Carnival-Style Warm Chocolate Melting Cake
Source: Kate's Recipe Box, adapted from All Recipes
Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine
2 ounces semisweet chocolate cut into bite-size chunks
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon flour
2 ounces semisweet chocolate cut into bite-size chunks
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon flour
Instructions
1. In a double-boiler, melt together the butter and the chocolate until smooth and then remove from heat.
2. In a separate bowl, beat together egg, sugar and salt until sugar is dissolved.
3. Beat the egg mixture and melted chocolate together until smooth.
4. Beat in the flour until just combined.
5. Divide batter between two greased ramekins and bake at 450F degrees for 8-10 minutes or until the top puffs but the center is not set. For a less-melting cake, bake a few minutes longer.
6. Top with vanilla ice cream!
