Red Velvet Lava Skulls Recipes

RED VELVET LAVA SKULLS

Steps:

• Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until steaming and bubbles start to form around the edges. Pour heavy cream over chocolate and whisk until chips are completely melted and smooth. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease skull pan with cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk butter, sugar, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla, vinegar and egg yolk until smooth.
• Add wet ingredients into dry and whisk until just combined. Divide batter evenly among skull cavities.
• Using a tablespoon, portion out the chilled chocolate mixture into 6 balls. Place 1 chocolate ball in the center of batter in each skull. Bake until center springs back when lightly pressed, about 18 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and invert cakes onto a baking rack or large platter. Place yellow candies in the eye sockets and serve immediately.

RED VELVET LAVA CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with the cooking spray, sprinkle with granulated sugar to cover the entire cup and dust off any excess. This will prevent the lava cakes from sticking. Set aside.
• Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a double boiler, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the flour and salt and stir until combined. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together in a small bowl and slowly add to the chocolate mixture. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the red food coloring.
• In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and remaining 1 teaspoon red food coloring. Spoon the filling mixture into a disposable pastry or icing bag and make a small cut when ready to fill.
• Using a heaping 1/4-cup scoop, divide the lava cake mixture among the prepared muffin cups. Fill the centers with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Bake until the edges are firm but the centers are not set, 9 to 11 minutes. Cool for 2 to 3 minutes, invert and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately. (To make ahead, bake for 8 minutes, invert and rewarm in the microwave for 1 minute. Dust with powdered sugar.)
