If you're a fan of chocolate, you're going to love this air fryer chocolate lava cake recipe!
Not only is it easy to make, but it's also incredibly decadent and perfect for a special occasion or a cozy night in.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semisweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until fully melted and combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Grease four 4-ounce ramekins with cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each one about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and air fry for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the air fryer and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cake from the ramekin, then invert the ramekins onto a plate to release the cake.
Dust the tops of the cakes with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Tips:
Make sure to use ramekins that are the right size for the air fryer basket, so they fit snugly and don't tip over during cooking.
For an extra decadent touch, top the cakes with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
If you have leftover cake, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds or air fry for a few minutes until warmed through.
This air fryer chocolate lava cake is a delicious and indulgent dessert that's easy to make and perfect for any chocolate lover.
