Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all‑purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1/2 cup cookies and cream filling (crushed sandwich cookies with cream)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp red food coloring (gel preferred)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for molten center)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 4–6 sandwich cookies, crushed (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • Optional: 2 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or four 6-8 oz ramekins.
  2. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the cookies and cream filling, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared molds, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center of each cake.
  8. Pour about 1 tablespoon of heavy cream into each well (add white chocolate chips if using).
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and slightly jiggly.
  10. Allow to cool in the pan for 2 minutes before carefully unmolding.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar, add crushed cookies for garnish, and serve immediately while centers are still warm and flowing.

Notes

  • For guaranteed molten centers, slightly underbake the cakes – they should be set around the edges but still jiggly in the middle.
  • These cakes are best served immediately after baking but can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
  • For a stronger red velvet flavor, add 2 oz of softened cream cheese to the batter.
