Oreo Lava Cakes Dessert (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake

01 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped
02 - 3/4 cup fat-free or low-fat milk
03 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tsp baking powder
05 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil

→ Filling

06 - 1/4 cup instant Oreo pudding mix
07 - 1/2 cup cold low-fat milk

# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, combine pudding mix and cold milk. Beat with a whisk until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Let mixture stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to thicken into a pudding.
02 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare four 4-oz ramekins by spraying with oil spray that includes flour, or by greasing, flouring, and tapping out excess flour.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, add chopped chocolate and milk. Microwave for 1 minute, covering the bowl with a microwave-safe paper towel. Stir until mostly melted, then microwave for an additional minute. Stir until smooth and uniform. Alternatively, melt the chocolate with milk over a pot of simmering water on the stove.
04 - Add the melted chocolate mixture to the remaining cake ingredients. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth.
05 - Divide batter evenly into prepared ramekins until half full. Add 2 tbsp of Oreo pudding to the center of each ramekin. Divide the remaining batter to cover the filling, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed. Ramekins should be about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
06 - Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 17-18 minutes or until the surface of the cakes is just set.
07 - Remove cakes from the oven. Use a small spatula to loosen the cakes from the ramekins. Invert onto plates by placing a plate over each ramekin and flipping quickly. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the ramekins are well prepared with oil and flour to prevent sticking.
02 - Serve the cakes immediately for the best lava effect.
