For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture. Ensure the ramekins are well-greased to prevent the lava cakes from sticking. You can also dust them with cocoa powder for easier release. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer. Keep a close eye on the cakes during the final minutes of cooking to achieve the perfect molten center. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 individual ramekins. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave at 15-second intervals until almost melted. Remove from the microwave and stir until chocolate is completely melted and thoroughly combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepMix powdered sugar, egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and salt into melted chocolate; whisk until combined. Add flour and mix until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared ramekins and place into the air fryer basket. Cover the ramekins with large pieces of foil, tucking ends underneath to prevent foil from flying off. (5 minutes)
04
StepCook in the preheated air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue cooking until edges are set, 2 to 4 more minutes. (14 minutes)
05
StepRemove from the air fryer and let sit for 5 minutes. Invert onto dessert plates and serve hot. (5 minutes)
