Chocolate volcanos

★ 4.8168 ratings

These Chocolate volcanos, so called because they spill with chocolate 'lava' when broken, are based on a classic French recipe that may (or may not) have been invented by Michel Bras. He tried to patent the recipe in 1981, but it's been copied and developed by countless famous chefs over the years, including Jean-George Vongerichten (who also claims it as his own), Raymond Blanc and Gordon Ramsay. This recipe borrows from the classic, with a little Nigella inspiration too.
