Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Chocolate Lava Cakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins generously with unsalted butter and dust them with cocoa powder.
  2. Melt semi-sweet chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  3. Whisk in powdered sugar, then add eggs, yolks, and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is silky.
  4. Gently fold in all-purpose flour and chopped pistachios to create a smooth batter without overmixing.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, looking for firm edges and a slightly jiggly center.
  7. Let the cakes cool for about 1 minute before inverting onto plates and serving warm.
