S'mores Molten Lava Cakes

S'mores Molten Lava Pies are decadently rich, with an oozing chocolate center, topped with melty toasted marshmallows all nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust - BUT - they are super easy to make, baked in a muffin tin and in your mouth in less than 30 minutes!

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 9 graham cracker sheets, finely ground (1 ¼ cup crumbs)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Molten Lava Cakes

Marshmallow Topping

  • 6 large marshmallows cut in half through the equator

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a regular size muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spray liners with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine all of the Crust ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Evenly distribute crumbs between cupcake liners, approximate 2 ½ tablespoons per liner.
  • Press crumbs into the bottom and ¾ up the sides of each liner using the back of a tablespoon. They don’t have to be even or perfect.

Molten Lava Cakes

  • Add butter and baking chocolate to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, or until butter is melted, then stir until butter and chocolate are completely smooth. Stir in sugar until smooth. Add eggs and egg yolks then then beat for 1 minute with a hand whisk. Fold in flour just until combined.
  • Evenly spoon batter into prepared crusts. It’s okay if the batter rises above the top of the graham crackers. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the sides are firm but the centers are still soft (but not jiggly).

Marshmallow Topping

  • Remove from oven and top each pie with half of a marshmallow. Broil 6” away from broiler until golden, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  • Let cool for 1 minute then remove pies using cupcake liners. Serve immediately for a molten center as the center will continue to cook as the pies cool. If you can’t serve immediately, they will still be delicious with a gooey center, just not quite as runny molten.
