Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- nonstick spray or butter for ramekins
Instructions
- Prepare Ramekins: Lightly grease 2 (6-ounce) ramekins with nonstick spray or butter.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare Batter: Stir in the powdered sugar, then whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
- Divide and Air Fry: Divide the batter between ramekins. Place in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft. Remove and let sit for 1 minute. Invert onto a plate.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Notes
- Cook time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model—start checking at 8 minutes.
- You can prepare the batter ahead and refrigerate the filled ramekins, then air fry just before serving.
