The Perfect Lemon Recipe!
Nothing says summer quite like a vibrant lemon dessert does! I’ve always loved molten lava cakes since I first tried them as a kid at restaurants but it wasn’t until I was older that I learned how easy they are to make, plus the ones made at home are always better! I shared Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes earlier this year and I’ve been totally crazy about them ever since thinking I’d never find a molten lava cake I liked quite as much but now I’ve found it’s competitor. These Lemon Molten Lava Cakes have just the right amount of sweet and tart, the molten center is rich and custardy, the cake is soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, they’re perfectly lemony, and when topped with fresh berries and cream they become an over-the-top dessert that no one will be able to resist!

How to Make Lemon Molten Lava Cakes
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place 7 (6 oz) custard cups on a baking sheet. Melt white chocolate with butter. Stir in flour, powdered sugar and salt then add in eggs, egg yolks, lemon curd, lemon zest and vanilla. Spray custard cups well with non-stick baking spray then pour mixture into cups filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in preheated oven until edges are golden brown and centers are puffy and just beginning to set, about 14 – 17 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge to ensure they are loosened then invert cakes onto individual dessert plates, top as desired.
