Chef's Tips

For a richer chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to the batter.

If you don't have almond milk, you can substitute with water or another type of milk.

Adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking. Taste the batter before baking to ensure it's sweet enough for you.

Be careful when handling the ramekins after baking as they will be hot.

Baking time is crucial. Undercooked will be too runny, overcooked will lose the lava effect.
