Because nobody turns down good, warm, gooey, oozy, sinful (we could go on and on) dessert like lava cake, and these eight places make very irresistible renditions of the classic treat. 

3 Inch Sin

Valrhona chocolate is the key ingredient that makes this dessert joint's stuff so good. And hey, if you're not in the mood for chocolate, no problem—you can choose from 12 other flavors (priced between $9.50 to $10.50), including raspberry, coffee, mint and Baileys.

Chocolate Origin

Need to fix that craving ASAP? Grab a little "cuppa" on the go from Chocolate Origin. Their Cuppa Lava Cake ($5) is made with 50/50 vanilla ice cream (at the bottom) and molten lava cake (at the top). No muss, no fuss.

Fern & Kiwi

This Kiwi restaurant's hot chocolate pudding ($14) comes with cinnamon crumble, berries and vanilla ice cream, but honestly, you won't notice any of that because the rich butter-chocolate combination (the ratio must be 3:1, it really is that sinful) hits you instantly. 

Laurent Bernard Chocolatier

These guys also made it to our best souffles list, so it's no wonder they're here once again for their chocolatey creations. The best thing about their lava cake ($12)? It's not overly-sweet.

Max Brenner Chocolate Bar

It's a mouthful, but Max Brenner's Melting Chocolate Truffle Heart Cake and Shake ($16) consists of a lava cake drizzled with hot chocolate sauce, vanilla bourbon ice cream, red berries and a cute little iced milk chocolate shot. The cake is rich enough so, some advice: don't down the shot at the same time.

Morton’s

Don't just head to this steakhouse for their meaty mains—their desserts are just as noteworthy, particularly the molten lava cake. It's not cheap though, $30 gets you the Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake (yes, that's what it's officially called). Certainly lives up to its name.

Osia

Osia's Valrhona Hot Chocolate Soup ($22) isn't actually a soup-soup so don't freak out. A regular molten lava cake with not-so-regular flavors, the dessert also features a dollop of black pepper vanilla ice cream. Yes, really.

Restaurant Ember

An unlikely contender, but the lava cake here at Restaurant Ember ($16) makes a promising choice each time you visit—we all know consistency is key.
