Chocolate Lava Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 220 ° C and bake the tartlets for 7-8 minutes.

Custard:

  • Heat the cream and milk together with 2 tablespoons of sugar as well as vanilla pulp and pod in a saucepan to boiling point and then remove them directly from the stove.
  • Then let it cool down. Put the egg yolks with a tablespoon of sugar in a bowl suitable for a double boiler and beat them with a whisk until frothy.
  • Gradually add the vanilla cream. Keep stirring them over the water bath for a few minutes to thicken the sauce.
  • The water must not be too hot to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Caramel crowns:

  • Preheat the oven to 160 ° C fan oven. Do not distribute the 5 Werthers Original Cream Candies too close to each other on the baking paper and a baking sheet.
  • Let it melt in the oven for 6-7 minutes. Then put baking paper on top and press it flat with a stamp and let it cool down.
