Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease four ramekins with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and unsalted butter, heating at 30-second intervals until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, salt, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Add melted chocolate mix and fold in flour until creamy.
  4. Distribute the batter among the greased ramekins, filling them 3/4 full and bake for 13-15 minutes.
  5. Prepare serving plates by drizzling caramel sauce on them.
  6. After baking, cool slightly, invert cakes onto serving plates, top with vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate magic shell.
