Equipment
  • ramekins
Ingredients
  • 4 oz Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 Large Egg Yolks
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch Salt
  • Butter for greasing ramekins
  • Powdered Sugar for dusting
Instructions
  • Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla extract.
  • Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then gently fold in flour and salt until just combined.
  • Grease four 4-oz ramekins with butter and divide the batter evenly among them.
  • Preheat air fryer to 370°F. Place ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but centers still jiggle slightly.
  • Let cool for 1 minute, then run a thin spatula around edges and invert onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
