Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Air Fryer Lava Cakes.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, take two individual ramekins and generously grease them with butter or a light spray of cooking oil to ensure easy release later.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips with unsalted butter.
Step 4
Heat this delightful mixture in the microwave on high for one minute, then give it a good stir.
Step 5
Continue microwaving in 15-second bursts until the chocolate and butter are nearly melted, then stir until the mixture is silky smooth and fully blended.
Step 6
Next, introduce powdered sugar, a large egg, an egg yolk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the melted chocolate concoction.
Step 7
Whisk everything together until it’s harmoniously combined.
Step 8
Gently fold in all-purpose flour, being careful not to overmix; you want to keep that luscious texture intact.
Step 9
Now, evenly distribute the rich batter into your prepared ramekins.
Step 10
Cover each one with a generous piece of foil, tucking the edges securely underneath to keep it in place during cooking.
Step 11
Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and let them cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 12
After this initial cooking time, carefully remove the foil and allow them to cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, watching for the edges to set while the center remains delightfully soft.
Step 13
Once they’re done, use caution to take the ramekins out of the air fryer and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 14
Finally, flip each ramekin onto a dessert plate and serve immediately, savoring the warm, gooey center that awaits.
Step 15
Enjoy this indulgent treat that’s sure to impress!.
