Description

Rich, gooey, and decadently delicious, these Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cakes are the perfect single-serve indulgence. Quick to make and impressive enough to wow your guests!


Ingredients

Lava Cake Batter

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1 egg (large)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 tbsp sugar (granulated)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Optional Toppings

  • powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • vanilla ice cream (for serving)


Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in flour until just combined. Grease ramekins and divide batter evenly.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Place ramekins in the basket and air fry for 7-8 minutes until edges are firm and center is gooey.
  5. Let cool 1 minute, run a knife around edges, invert onto plates, and serve with powdered sugar or ice cream.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of espresso powder to the batter. Best enjoyed warm!
