6 Irresistible Molten Lava Desserts That Will Melt Your Heart

It seems like we have a penchant for food that flows. From eggs benedict to molten lava cake, and the latest salted egg croissant, we have been lusting over food that oozes with flavour and surprise. It might stem from an innate desire to play with our food, or the simple element of surprise when you cut into your food to reveal something more. 

Regardless the motivation, it’s worth noting that being soft-hearted isn’t exactly a bad thing anymore. Here’s a list of places you can pop by should you feel like indulging in this new trend of molten goodness!

The Matcha Avalanche is as dramatic and exciting as it sounds. A warm matcha lava cake is perched on top of a bowl, sitting vicariously on a brittle of almond nougatine. Slice into the cake and watch the azuki beans fall onto a scoop of roasted green tea gelato and chocolate soil. The result is a burst of complementary flavours and textures.

Bread bowls are usually filled with hearty stews or cheesy dips. But at Mr Baguette, they fill their mini bread bowls with a range of oozing sweet options like chocolate and egg custard. A humble stall at Golden Mile Food Center, these dessert bread bowls might just be the next big thing.

Why This New Cafe At Upp Thomson Is A Must Visit. Look At Their Waffles!

Nothing makes me happier than a delectable plate of waffle topped with sauce; sprinkled with almonds, chopped fruits, two scoops of ice cream; and completed with a macaron. Fortunately for me, I had two plates of that goodness. Twice in a week. Guilty as charged.

If you’d like to enjoy a treat, a chill place to unwind after a tiresome day, or some great waffles, head over to Les Patisseries at Upper Thomson. They moved from Toa Payoh and opened Nov 2015. We couldn’t resist paying a visit after we heard about their waffles.

We had their Horffles Waffle (two scoops of vanilla ice cream on a waffle with Horlicks), and Ispahan Waffle (two scoops of raspberry sorbet on a rose waffle). Both waffles came with a macaron, mixed berries, almonds, and sauce. The texture of both waffles on two different occasions was fluffy and crispy. Portions are quite big, so do share!

There are plenty of other waffle choices from Thai Milk Tea to Belgian Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Earl Grey, and Madagascar Vanilla. If you’re feeling crafty, you can create your own waffles according to your preference. Just pick your waffle base, how many slices you want, ice cream flavour and sauce. This DIY option will surely save you from all the stress of picking ONE waffle flavour.

Note: Waiting time for the waffles to be done was quite long, considering that Les Patisseries was relatively quiet when we were there.

At a price tag of around $14+, Les Patisseries’ waffles are more a treat than a regular dessert stop. Crafted with thought and care, they’re still definitely worth a try. So grab your friends and best buddies, and get ready to enjoy waffles that taste just as good as they look!
