All-purpose flour1 ¼ cups
Unsalted butter, softened½ cup
Brown sugar½ cup
Granulated sugar¼ cup
Large egg1
Vanilla extract1 tsp
Baking soda½ tsp
Kosher salt¼ tsp
Semisweet chocolate chips1 cup
Vanilla ice cream4 scoops

Instructions

1
Mix the dough
Cream the butter with brown and granulated sugar until fluffy, beat in the egg and vanilla, then stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips until just combined.
2
Press into skillets
Divide the raw dough among mini cast-iron skillets, pressing each into a thick, even layer that reaches the edges.
3
Bake until molten
Bake at 350°F until the edges are crisp and golden but the center stays soft and molten, about 12-14 minutes.
4
Top and serve
While the skillet is still hot, top immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream so it melts into the warm, molten center. Serve right away with spoons.

Nutrition is estimated from the listed ingredients using standard reference values (USDA FoodData Central). 8 of 9 matched ingredients use verified FoodData Central entries (dictionary snapshot 2026-09-11). Brand, portion, and preparation differences can change the result. Frying fat is counted at the share typically absorbed, and brines drained before cooking are excluded. These figures are an estimate for general interest, not medical or dietary advice.

Equipment

Cast iron skillet

Cast iron stores enough heat to keep searing when cold food hits it, which is what produces the crust.
