Ingredients

  • 3 oz (85 gr) white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup (80 gr) pistachio paste
  • 1/3 cup (75 gr) unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 1/2 tbsp (30 gr) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (30 gr) all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Toppings

  • Confectioners' sugar
  • Chopped roasted pistachios

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃. Butter and lightly flour 5 small ramekins or molds.
  • Combine the white chocolate, butter, and pistachio paste in a double boiler and melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Or, place the white chocolate, butter, and pistachio paste in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 30-seconds until melted. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add eggs and sugar. Beat on high speed until thick and pale yellow with a mixer or whisk.
  • Add the melted white chocolate mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Add flour and salt. Beat on low speed until incorporated.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins.
  • Place ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes until the sides appear firm, while the centers still look soft. Remove from the oven. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute.
  • Invert the lava cakes on individual plates while warm. Dust with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle some chopped pistachios, if desired. Serve immediately.
