Notes

Notes:
  • Nutrition: Nutrition facts are for one lava cake, containing 3 NET carbs per serving.
  • Substitutions: Various sugar-free chocolate types can be used, including milk, dark, or semi-sweet.
  • Prep Time Tip: Prepare batter 1-2 days in advance and refrigerate. Allow it to reach room temperature before baking.
  • Reheating: Leftover lava cakes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds; avoid overheating.
  • Freezing: Store in an airtight container and freeze for 2-3 weeks.
  • Sweetener Tips: A blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia is used. It is twice as sweet as sugar. To substitute with Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit, use 1.5 times the sweetener amount. Use half the amount if substituting with Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet. Note that substitutions may not work in candy recipes, such as caramel.
