Valentine's Day is approaching and these mini lava cakes are simple and decadent...Sure to melt your honey's heart and set the right mood for the night! *Wink*
I've wanted to make lava cakes for a while, something simple and small. I think decadent and super rich chocolate has its place. I wanted to create something small, luscious and just the right amount of chocolate to compliment the subtle Kahlua flavor. Rockin' it next to some vanilla bean ice cream was also a must.
And, I'll be honest, I'm not a huge chocolate fan...Not even a great dark chocolate fan. Except with coconut, of course. I know...what happened to me at birth? Aren't all girls supposed to be in love with chocolate?
I also wanted to use heart shaped sprinkles and VDay seems to be the only holiday that I can use heart sprinkles. I got my sprinkles at Target...And, in true Target fashion these sprinkles were a deal...Let me show you why...
See?! Why on earth would they combine blue teal hearts with red, pink and white hearts I ask you? Good thing I had some time on my hands (home sick with bronchitis), plus I'm truly anal retentive when it comes to sprinkles. Yeah, you know me so well by now... :)
I can guarantee that these little lovelies are super easy, super full-proof and super delish. I'm not a chocolate fan, right? Well, these have just the right amount of "chocolaty-ness" for both the chocolate and the less-than-over-the-top chocolate lovers in your life.
A nice glass of champagne should seal this deal. *Wink*
I'm sharing this in the coffee liqueur challenge over at Baking With Spirit!
