Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and lightly grease two small ramekins.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, egg, vanilla extract, salt and baking powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins and smooth the tops.

Step 4

Press one piece of dark chocolate into the centre of each ramekin, pushing it down so it’s fully submerged.

Step 5

Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centre remains soft and molten.

Step 6

Allow to cool for two to three minutes, then serve warm for the full gooey lava effect.
