8. Ghirardelli® Chocolate Lava Cakes with Smoked Sea Salt

Chocolate lava cake is an “all-time favorite dessert in my family,” says Chef Michael Boyer. Here, he features two types of chocolate—Ghirardelli^® Dark Chocolate Wafers and Ghirardelli^® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips—plus a surprise ingredient: gochugaru. “I wanted to highlight the complex flavor profiles of dark and semi-sweet Ghirardelli chocolates, first with smoked sea salt to accentuate the earthy depth of the cocoa, as well as with the warm, fruity notes of the Korean chile flakes,” he says. Garnishes can range from whipped cream and gelato to fruit compote and, the chef’s favorite, caramel sauce.
