Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Powdered sugar for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Melt Chocolate and Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, flour, and peppermint extract, mixing until smooth.
- Fill the Molds:
- Grease 4 small air fryer-safe ramekins or silicone molds. Divide the batter evenly among the molds.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Serve:
- Allow the cakes to cool for 1–2 minutes. Invert onto plates and garnish with powdered sugar, fresh mint leaves, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Notes:
- Storage: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently.
- Variations: Add crushed candy canes or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture.
- Tip: Do not overcook to ensure the lava center remains molten.
