Instructions:
- Preheat your pie maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the pie cavities if necessary.
- In a microwavable bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until both the chocolate and butter have melted completely and the mixture is smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour, gently folding them into the mixture until you have a smooth batter.
- Spoon the batter into the preheated pie maker cavities, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for the cakes to rise.
- Close the pie maker and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the tops of the cakes are set but a skewer inserted into the center comes out with gooey, molten chocolate.
- Carefully remove the lava cakes from the pie maker using a heatproof spatula. Be gentle to prevent any breakage and ensure the molten centers remain intact.
- Serve warm for the best lava effect. You can garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Pie maker caramilk lava cakes FAQ:
Cook the lava cakes in your pie maker for about 8-10 minutes. The tops should be set, but you should see gooey chocolate when you insert a skewer into the center.
The cakes are done when the tops look set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with molten chocolate. Be cautious not to overbake, as this will reduce the gooey center.
This recipe is designed for a standard-sized pie maker. Ensure that the cavities are suitable for individual servings, typically around 4-6 inches in diameter.
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate, but the lava cakes will be sweeter and may have a different texture. Adjust sugar accordingly if desired.
Store any leftover lava cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds before serving to restore the molten center.
Tips:
- Use Quality Chocolate: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate to ensure a rich, intense flavor that pairs perfectly with the Caramilk center.
- Prep Your Pie Maker: Make sure your pie maker is properly preheated and greased to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined to avoid a dense texture.
- Test For Doneness: Keep a close eye on the cakes as they cook. The edges should be set while the center remains gooey. Use a toothpick to check; it should come out mostly clean but with some moist crumbs.
- Serve Immediately: Lava cakes are best enjoyed warm so that the center remains molten. Serve them straight from the pie maker with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
