Ingredients

Instructions

  1. For the cheesecakes: Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat. They are best if used within 7 days. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator at 40°F overnight or at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving.
  2. For the lava cakes: Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat; best if used within 7 days. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator at 40°F overnight or at room temperature for 2-3 hours before heating.
  3. Remove the plastic wrapping from the lava cakes. For best results, preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the thawed cake in its tray and bake until warmed through, 10-14 minutes. Oven times may vary.

Recipe Tips

For a richer lava cake experience, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

If you prefer a firmer cheesecake texture, let it thaw in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature.
