Greetings from my Tuscan kitchen!
This monthly post is all about inspiring you to cook with seasonal ingredients and bringing you delicious Italian recipes for lunch or dinner ideas. Do you ever find yourself asking: what are we eating today? I’m here to help!
I like to keep things simple and to the point, no fluff, just delicious recipes and helpful tips!
This month, when chocolate seems to be on a lot of people’s minds, I’m excited to share one of my favorite Italian dishes from a past live class—one that’s perfect for this season and easy to master. It’s mini molten chocolate cakes. These mini chocolate cakes with a melting heart, known as Tortino al cioccolato dal cuore fondente in Italian. This is a delightful dessert with a gooey, molten center. The combination of a few perfectly baked ingredients will surely melt your heart too.

Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes Class
During this class replay video, we’ll make Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes. Before serving, sprinkle the mini chocolate cake with a pinch of gourmet salt to enhance the flavors. This dessert is my daughter’s absolute favorite, and she never lets me taste hers! It’s a fantastic option for a last-minute treat since it’s first frozen and baked later.
Key Ingredients
For the mini chocolate cakes
- dark chocolate
