Bittersweet Molten Chocolate Cakes with Coffee Ice Cream


This is amazing and yummy!!! By just looking at it, you would feel that this is so classy hoOOrr.. 1st bite, so-so... and the taste of bittersweet chocolate is not sweet (of course, that's why ppl say "bittersweet" mar) and a bit plain.....just chocolate lor...

buUUuuut then, when you eat it together with the coffee ice cream... omg! couldn't believe I actually made this :P hahahaaa..... i tried eating this together with other flavor of ice cream but find that coffee would bring out the best of it!

The good thing of this is you can make ahead the batter and put in the fridge, and when you want to eat it, just start the baking and serve in 15minutes!

I bought the souffle dishes from DAISO for S$2. I bought 4 in total and when I went back there to get few more, it's not available anymore.
