INDIVIDUAL CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES BY GHIRARDELLI



Individual Chocolate Lava Cakes by Ghirardelli image

I just received my first KitchenAid stand mixer and this recipe was included in their recipes. I love the idea of making a chilled chocolate ball that is added to the batter in order to obtain that gooey yummy center. It says to garnish with raspberries and whipped cream, but I know we like to serve it with vanilla ice cream!!
