Warm Chocolate Melting Cups Recipe

Reviewed on Jan. 20, 2013 by shelton463

This is an absolutely incredible dessert! Such a deep, rich chocolate flavor and totally worth the splurge. However, the calorie count on here is way wrong. I ran it through 2 different recipe builders, and it's closer to 200 calories each for 10 servings. Still worth it, they are soooo good!

DIVINE! Just perfect with strawberries to cut the sweetness a little. Thought I would want whipped cream or ice cream with it, but doesn't really need it.

Delicious! Calorie count is way off though, so be careful.

I'm just wondering what is so healthy when the main ingredient here is Sugar??? 1 1/4 cups of sugar? Come on now! Then choc. chips? Not much healthy about this recipe!

I'm sure it tastes fabulous but lets not kid ourselves about touting it as "healthy!"

We have a friend who is allergic to coffee so I substitute hot cocoa. These get rave reviews from all my friends and family!! The best part is that they are actually low calorie for such a rich dessert!

These cups were absolutely delicious, and easy to make! We put a dollop of whipped topping on each one, and enjoyed the low calorie yet rich taste of this dessert. I will definitely make these again. Thanks!

What is Baking cocoa? Is that the same as baking powder or is it those squares? Is this sweetened or unsweetened? Help...would love to try!

Baking cocoa is essentially powdered unsweetened chocolate, you'll find it in the baking section of your grocery store usually above the chocolate chips.  It will be labeled "Baking Cocoa".

Totally agree "JAPAMA".............I also had Carnival's Chocolate Melting Cake every night for dessert!!!  Thank goodness this recipe is a lot healthier as I NEED to make another batch of this yummy recipe again!  Did you try it with DARK Chocolate??  Yummy!

Oh, I would have to agree that this is just about as good as Carnival's Warm Chocolate Melting Cake! Had it almost every night as a desert!!! Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as they did and you have a wonderful desert or any time "comfort" food for those who love chocolate, as I do.

I have not yet made it, but will. This is a rate of reviews. This is the fourth recipe today where I read the reviews. People who have no intention of making those recipes are writing to criticize. Either it has an ingredient they don't like or an ingredient they, themselves, cannot eat. Why not just write the recipe off instead of criticizing the recipe, the submitter, the editor, or the nutritionist, without first-hand facts or knowledge.

What a great little dessert! I made only a half recipe and it turned out wonderfully. My daughter asked if we could have this every night for dessert! That seems to say it all!

I would like to comment on the question about this being good for diabetics because of the amount of sugar. The way our Doctor explained to me that it is total calories and whether it is a fast spike in sugar. When you divide the sugar by 10 servings that isn't very much per serving and in my opinion better for you than the chemicals of most artificial sweeteners.

Not sure how it would be without the coffee but I didn't taste the coffee at all and I think coffee brings out more of the chocolate flavor.......if you have instant coffe you could make a little and use that......

Delicious - way better than expected. Used half sugar and half Splenda - great results and also used dark chocolate chips....next time I will cut the total sugar down to 1 cup and try cooking for 17 - 19 minutes. I cooked it 20 minutes and it was delicious but I think a little less cooking time would be great too (of course depending on your oven) The taste was up there with Carnival's Warm Chocolate Melting cake but your version was much, much healthier and just as mouth watering!!! Thanks for a great recipe!

I am looking forward to trying this. With 29 gm of carbs per serving...it is most definitely an acceptable dessert for diabetics! They need to count carbs....not stop eating all things tasty! My husband is diabetic...with well controlled BS....and I will have no problem giving this to him.

We loved it. It was just the right amount of chocolate to keep you wanting more. I served it warm from the oven and could not have wanted anything better for desert.

I hate to spoil everybody's fun but just because there is only 131 calories per serving, that doesn't make this dessert "healthy". Delicious? yes! Make it again? yes. But it gets put in the "special occasion" recipe section.

Adding 1 1/2 cups of sugar is not diabetic friendly.

Sounds like a chocoholics dream. Wondering if you can you make this earlier, and then bake it when it is time for dessert?? Wouldn't worry about the eggs - they are cooked.

Reviewed on Dec. 31, 2009 by 1Bockey

This was so delicious!!! The serving size is 1/4 of a cup in order to make 10 ramekins. It seems very rich and I wanted more, but we stick to the one serving and can't wait until the next night when we can enjoy it again for dessert. It keeps well even after 2-3 days in the frig. I do reheat it in the microwave for 30 seconds. That puffs it up a bit and makes it warm and creamy for my husband and me to enjoy! This is truly a dessert that all chocolate lovers HAVE to try! Good enough for company as well!! The bonus is that it is ONLY 131 calories per serviing. The trick is to eat just one!

Very good! Warm, moist and delicious. And, folks, come on --- if you can't get 2 eggs done in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes, just how long does it take to get them done?

It is a great Recipe. Added a1/4 tsp cinnamon, too!! 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes is more than suficient to cook eggs thoroughly. Eggs have a low cooking point than other things Remember, this is same time/temp for cupcakes and the FDA regulates those instructions, too

Have tried this and it's delicious. Kerry your version sounds quick & simple so will give yours a try..but think I'll add only a tsp of oil & hope it works. For the splenda issue..this is what the experts say...Splenda/sucralose is simply chlorinated sugar; a Chlorocarbon...When turned into Splenda it becomes similiar to DDT. Chlorocarbon include carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethelene and methylene chloride, all deadly and damages the hepatocytes, the liver's metabolic cells. So decied whether sugar versus Splenda is the best..for me I'll stick with sugar and eat in moderation. Whatever you choose enjoy as it really is an easy and delicious recipe.

Can't wait to try these! But some of the poster on here need to understand Splenda and how it works. Especially for those who are diabetic. Splenda is not absorbed by the body and sugar is.

people really splenda is made from sugar they just remove the fattening part and that is also the part that raises blood sugar you are all thinking of sugar twin, saccharin etc. get with the times and don't judge a product you obviously know nothing about

Very good. But how can connie30 say something cooked for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 is uncooked? I agree, Splenda isn"t healthy. If you want to cut calories, use the new stevia/sugar combinations.

I haven't made your recipe but thought I would share a similar one some of you might have received in your email. I just made it for the guys while they were watching the football game.

It's called DANGEROUS CHOCOLATE CAKE-IN-A-MUG!

Add 4T. cake flour or 3 1/2 T. all purpose flour, 4T. sugar and 2T. cocoa in a mug and mix well with a fork. Add 1 egg and mix thoroughly. Pour 3T. milk, 3T. oil and a splash of vanilla into the mug and mix well. Add 2T. choc. chips if desired. Put mug into microwave and cook for three minutes on 1000 watts. Cake will rise over top of mug - do not be alarmed! Allow to cool just a little. Tip out onto a plate or eat right out of the mug. ENJOY!
