Some people jump out of airplanes to get their adrenaline rushes.
Others run marathons.
Me? I get my adrenaline from crazy recipes like this one.
I tell you, it’s not for the faint of heart, but oh it is worth it.
It all started when I was trying to plan a Valentine’s Day dinner for my husband and me. He loves chocolate lava cakes, but due to a limited number of ramekins, fears of failure, and a desire for something a little more foolproof, I was hesitant.
So, I looked around on the internet, found three solid options, and presented them to him. Lo and behold, he chose this one.
I decided I was up for the challenge and took a shot-by-shot approach to this recipe.
Preparing to fold the chocolate into the egg yolks. Density comes into play here. SCIENCE!

Yes, Mom! Whipping the yolks and whites into puffy clouds of foam is such a sciency, nerdy thrill for the inner chemist :).
