1. Prepare the Ramekins:
- Lightly grease four
6-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
- Preheat your air
fryer to 370°F (188°C).
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a microwave-safe
bowl, combine the butter and semisweet chocolate.
- Microwave in
20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are
fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
3. Make the Batter:
- Add the powdered
sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the eggs,
egg yolks, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the
flour and salt until just incorporated.
4. Fill the Ramekins:
- Divide the batter
evenly among the prepared ramekins.
5. Air Fry the Lava Cakes:
- Place the ramekins
in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch each other.
- Air fry for 8-10
minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft.
6. Serve:
- Once done, let the
lava cakes cool for 1-2 minutes in the ramekins.
- Carefully run a
knife around the edges to loosen, then invert each cake onto a plate.
- Serve warm with
vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
