Recipe Tips

For best results, allow the cheesecakes to come to room temperature naturally for a creamy texture.

Do not overheat the lava cakes in the microwave; they should be warm but not hot to maintain a molten center.

FAQ

Can I bake the lava cakes from frozen?

It’s best to thaw them first in the refrigerator overnight or for 2-3 hours at room temperature before baking. Baking from frozen may result in uneven heating.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep any uneaten lava cakes or cheesecakes in the refrigerator and consume within 7 days. Lava cakes can be reheated gently.

Can I serve these desserts together?

Absolutely! The warm lava cake pairs beautifully with the cool, creamy cheesecake. Serve them side by side for a delightful contrast.
