CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Best of My Lava Chocolate Cake
Breaking Ooze!
We've whipped up a cake SO chocolatey and decadent, your head may
ACTUALLY explode. (Consider yourself warned -- we're not going to be
responsible for sweeping up the mess.) You'll need four baking ramekins
(about 4 inches in diameter) for this recipe -- click here for a super-cute set,
or pick some up at a store like Target. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For Cake
1 cup moist-style chocolate cake mix (1/4 of an 18.25-oz. box)
One 25-calorie packet diet hot cocoa mix
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
2 dashes salt
For Filling
One-half Jell-O Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding Snack (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. fat-free liquid creamer (like Coffee-mate Fat Free Original)
1/2 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
Directions:
Place the chocolate chips for the filling in a glass and set aside. Pour the
creamer in a microwave-safe bowl with the butter, and heat in the
microwave for about 15 seconds, until butter has melted and mixture is very
hot. Pour the mixture over the chocolate chips and stir until they have
dissolved. Allow to cool for several minutes. Add the pudding to the mixture
and stir well. Spoon the chocolate mixture into four evenly spaced mounds
on a plate. Place in the freezer for 25 minutes. (Don't over-freeze -- the
mounds could stick to the plate.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place chocolate chips for the cake in a tall glass along with the contents of
the cocoa packet. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and stir until chips and cocoa
have dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir well. Pour the contents of the
glass into a mixing bowl. Add all of the remaining ingredients for the cake
(cake mix, egg substitute, Splenda, and salt) to the mixing bowl, and whip
batter with a whisk or fork for 2 minutes.
Once the chocolate mounds in the freezer are a little firm, spray four baking
ramekins (each about 4 inches in diameter) with nonstick spray. Evenly
spoon the cake batter (which will be a little thin, but don't worry!) into the
ramekins. Remove chocolate mounds from the freezer, and place one in the
center of each batter-filled ramekin. Put the ramekins in the oven and bake
for 15 minutes. Cakes will look shiny when done.
Carefully remove each ramekin from the oven. You can eat the cake right
out of the ramekin (while the center is still gooey!), but make sure to let it
cool a little bit, because the ramekin will be hot. Or you can wait until it has
cooled completely and plate the cake by running a knife along the edges and
flipping it upside down. (Then just pop it in the microwave for about 15
seconds to heat it back up.) Enjoy!

FIGHT IT!
Lava Cake, Average
Lava Hurts!
Chocolate lava cake is one of those desserts that's sometimes a little TOO
hard to pass up. Rich, fluffy cake is tempting enough on its own, but when it
has gooey, melty, chocolate ooze in the middle?! Well that's enough to push
it over the edge and make it nearly impossible to turn down. Be strong, lava-
lovers! On average, that single-serving sweet 'n fatty mess will set you back
about 437 calories and 23g fat. As for the infamous ice-cream-topped Molten
one at Chili's? 1,290 calories and 62g fat (POINTS® value 30*). AHHHHH! So
unless you're sharing it with a few friends (and there's never enough
chocolate goo to go around!), you're better off passing on this dessert.
Luckily, you don't have to forego molten-centered chocolate cakes for good.
We've come up with a version we're pretty sure you'll FLIP over. Make a few
cakes before you go out, skip dessert at the restaurant, invite your pals
over, and pop 'em in the microwave when you get home (the cakes, not your
pals). We're full of good ideas. And soon YOU'LL be full of chocolate.
Weeeee!
