There is nothing better than a rich, chocolate dessert. Today, I made my family a batch of Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cakes. They were so easy to make and absolutely delicious. And the best part is from start to finish. It only took about 20 minutes.

While this looks relatively complicated, it actually is very, very simple. If you are not familiar with lava cakes, all that it means is when you cut into it, the chocolate spurts out, like a volcano, where the lava spills out.

My kids really love going to Chili for their lava cakes, which is why I thought of this recipe. I knew that there would have to be a way to make a Copycat Lava Cake in the air fryer.

How To Make Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cakes

Spray your ramekins. I usually use non-stick cooking spray, but if you only have olive oil, that is fine. Just make sure that you get all of the edges, so the lava cake pops out easily.
Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, I set my microwave for 30 seconds, and then I remove and mix, and continue that until it’s fully melted, and mix with a whisk, to really blend it well.
Add all of the other ingredients to make the batter.
Fill the ramekin (already sprayed) with the chocolate batter.
Set into the air fryer and cook until the cake is firm on the outside but still gooey on the inside (lava cake)
Use a knife to cut the cake out, and then pop on a plate.
Flip the lava cake onto a plate.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
