Is there anything you can sub for the coffee? We’re not coffee drinkers. Thanks
has anyone tried cutting the recipe in half? I would definitely eat them if there are too many left over!
Wow! Easy and super delicious!
for no name Feb 5-I go to thrift stores just to see what I can find and ramekins are 90% available-like set of 4 matching glass dark cobalt blue $3
I don't have ramekins-does anyone have a suggestion of what else I could use? Thanks in advance

To answer the silerk question: Yes, this recipe is quite similar to a Molten Lava Cake.
I'm not sure if I made them incorrectly or if they are supposed to be NOT cake like. My cups came out very much like a pudding with a crispy crust on top. Is that right?
Has anyone attempted this recipe using Splenda or Splenda brown sugar as a substitute for white sugar? I'm curious if it would work...it would sure cut the calories!!773 calories in one cup of sugar...even divided it's too many for this gal's diet! How about we cut those calories to about 100 total calories from Splenda sugar? :)
This recipe is definitely a keeper. Quick and easy, plus they hold nicely for another day or to make ahead.
