Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 12-14 pitted medjool dates
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 Tablespoons raw butter
  • ½ cup Agave Nectar
  • 1 cup Lake Champlain Cocoa Powder

In heavy duty blender, add eggs, pitted dates, vanilla extract and salt. Combine on high until mixture is a consistent thick liquid (similar to milkshake consistency). Then place egg mixture into mixing bowl.

In double boiler, melt butter.Once butter is completely melted, add the agave nectar and whisk. Then add in cocoa powder and quickly mix together (about 15 seconds). Once combined, remove from heat.

Add ½ of the cocoa mixture to the egg mixture and whisk in well. Once combined, add the remaining cocoa mixture to the batter.

Ladle batter into ramekins (about 1/2 way full). Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 8 minutes or until the rim of the outside starts to rise. The direct center should still be like chocolate lava. Serve hot.
