Crock Pot Chocolate Lava Cake

So who loves the chocolate molten lava cake from Chili’s? I do, it is sooo good. So when I saw a recipe for Crock Pot Chocolate Lava Cake I knew I had to try it. I once tried to make lava cupcakes but that was met with great disaster when the muffin pan flipped when I let go of it too soon putting it in the oven. Thank goodness we didn’t have our dog yet because there was chocolate everywhere. Since my crock pot is one of my favorite kitchen tools I couldn’t wait to try this crock pot dessert out!

Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake is an easy and delicious crockpot dessert - Love, Pasta and a Tool Belt | crockpot | dessert | chocolate | cake |

We really enjoyed this dessert but also thought it could have been a little sweeter. Maybe add more chocolate chips or get a different cake mix. I got milk chocolate  so if I did it again I would probably go with one of the triple chocolate fudge cake mixes. It was no Chili’s but it was a yummy alternative to going out and getting cake. I hope you all enjoy this! Has anyone found a recipe for molten lava cake that is delicious? That’s one dessert I am always looking to try new recipes to see how close I can get to Chili’s version! Do you have a favorite dessert to make in your crock pot?

      Hi Shelly,

      I believe I just poured it into the cake batter in the middle and it just sunk in! I didn’t swirl or anything.

      Thanks,
