Who doesn’t love chocolate? Well, there are a few people that dislike chocolate, to be honest, and I feel sorry for them.

This recipe is wonderful but if you like a plain chocolate lava cake, you should try my Carnival Chocolate Melting Cake.

The Applebees Triple Chocolate Meltdown cake has great layers of chocolate flavors. First, you have the chocolate molten cake, but then we top it with a thick chocolate sauce, and we also drizzle white chocolate sauce on it.

Applebees Triple Chocolate Meltdown Recipe Ingredients

So this chocolate recipe has a little something for everyone. The recipe ingredients are very basic and simple. Here’s a list of what you need to make and serve chocolate lava cake:

• Semisweet chocolate
• Butter
• Eggs
• All-purpose flour
• Salt
• White chocolate
• Vegetable shortening
• Vanilla ice cream

How to Make Applebee’s Triple Chocolate Meltdown

1. Butter 4 small ramekins and dust them with sugar.
2. Melt semisweet chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Whisk occasionally until smooth and uniform.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk eggs, yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly.
5. Add flour and salt and stir until just combined.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins.
7. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
8. Invert each chocolate lava cake onto a dessert plate.
9. Place white chocolate and semisweet chocolate in separate bowls and add shortening to each bowl.
10. Melt the chocolates in the microwave.
11. Top each lava cake with a scoop of ice cream.
12. Drizzle the white chocolate over the cake.
13. Drizzle the semisweet chocolate over the lava cake.

This recipe isn’t difficult to make, I know when you try making this style of chocolate cake you are going to want to make more of the melting/molten lava chocolate cakes. I do recommend one tool if you do not have it.

For this recipe, you should use 6-ounce ramekins. The ramekins are very helpful. I don’t recommend pouring the batter into a small cake pan and cooking it. While you could do it, you won’t get the lovely visual of individual desserts.
