Calling all chocolate lovers! Put away those fun-size candy bars and freezer-burned fudgsicles because we’ve got the cure to your weeknight cocoa cravings. Say hello to a personal-sized (!) chocolate lava cake. It couldn’t be easier to prepare—all you have to do is pop it in the microwave. When you dig in, get your Instagram (and your tastebuds) ready: the rich, cakey outer shell gives way to a warm flow of molten chocolate. Keep it simple or gild the lily (in the best way possible) by topping it with chopped fruit, nuts, ice cream, or crunchy sea salt… you really can’t go wrong. Nutrient values are representative of 1 cake.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Rich, gooey chocolate delight for sweet-tooth satisfaction, though some found it too dark or bitter 🍫.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and convenient microwave option, but oven baking may yield better results.
  • Suggestions: Pair with vanilla ice cream or strawberry ice cream for a delicious contrast.
  • Texture: Opinions varied widely; some loved the molten center, while others found it too runny or pudding-like.
  • Portions: Individual servings perfect for personal indulgence, but a bit pricey as an add-on for larger groups.

These were really good, but I was expecting a little bit of a cake consistency on the outside. It was pretty much lava everywhere.

Great taste, but not a dazzling dessert visually. Even on a fancy plate, it looks pretty bland. Had to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

My son and husband especially liked these. We will order as long as they are available. We'd love some GF dessert options, though.
