Molten Lava Cookies

By: Richa

These decadently delicious chocolate lava cookies use my soft, chewy, almond flour cookie dough and a flowy, chocolate ganache filling that oozes out when you break them in half! (gluten-free and soy-free with nut-free options)

It’s cookie season, and I wanted to make a decadent, chocolatey cookie. And what better idea than to convert molten lava cake into cookie form!Β 

My motto is that baking should be super easy and flexible, so that even if you make a few measuring errors, things still turn out great. Nobody has time to whip up butter and sugar and all that, so I use my trusty almond flour cookie dough, which works every time.

To make this simple dough, you just add all the dry ingredients to a bowl, mix really well, add some melted coconut oil and maple syrup, mix again, and that’s it! You have a dough!Β 

For this recipe, we’ll add cocoa powder to make a chocolate cookie dough. Then, we make a molten chocolate β€œlava bomb,” which is a melted chocolate ganache that goes inside the cookie. As the cookie bakes, it spreads and traps the chocolate ganache inside. When you break it open, it’s oozy, melty, and so delicious.

Irish Soda Bread

We are going through a history where the world is witnessing a pandemic episode of Covid-19.Β  As the world reels in the #StayAtHome concept lots of new ideas are popping up on internet to keep oneself busy and sane. One of them being Baking YES... Baking Breads, Cakes, Muffins, Brownies, Pastries is at its peak and is being enjoyed thoroughly across the globe as we silently fight against the Virus and pray that it dies down.


Irish Soda Bread



I venture into baking once in a while. This time it was so tempting for me to justΒ  not to ignore the call of baking a bread. But sigh!! I had to be patient as I did not have yeast in my pantry. Going to grocery stores at the drop of the hat is a big NO NO now, to add to it I kept forgetting to add that ingredient on my list of next home delivered order.

So I was left with no option but to look for something that used no Yeast. Something that was quick, simple and no fermentation recipe for my bread as I craved to make one!

And voila came across Irish Soda Bread in a 5 year old magazine which I was browsing while having my tea.
As befitting many of the bestΒ breadsΒ in the world – Irish Soda BreadΒ is a traditional Irish speciality- it was made with only the most basic of ingredients: flour, bakingΒ sodaΒ (used as a leavening agent instead of yeast), soured milk to moisten and activate theΒ soda, and salt.
Irish Soda bread remains an international favorite.Β Β Before baking, a cross was cut on the top with a knife, to ward off the devil and protect the household.Β 
Something about it, when you mark that X just before the bread goes in the oven, makes you smile and you know it will come out right :)
