Preparation Instructions

Pour all the ingredients into a large bowl and blend until combined and smooth.

Grease the giant muffin tin and place it in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cake-muffins comes out clean.

Allow to cool before cutting the top off of each cake-muffin with a knife. To achieve the desired shape, cut a circle from inside each cake-muffin and scoop out the insides.

Spoon hot fudge into the resulting crater. Pop the cake-muffin into the freezer for about 2 hours.

Remove from the freezer and microwave until just warm. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
