Peppermint
Lava Cakes Recipe
It
never ceases to amaze to see warm chocolate pudding ooze out of the center of
this tender chocolate cake. These cakes are a showstopper on a plate! Serve lava
cakes with whipped cream or ice cream.
Ingredients
:
2/3
cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2
cup butter, cubed
1
cup confectioners' sugar
2
large eggs, room temperature
2
large egg yolks, room temperature
1
teaspoon peppermint extract
6
tablespoons all-purpose flour
2
tablespoons finely crushed peppermint candies, optional
Preheat
air fryer to 375°. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter
for 30 seconds; stir until smooth. Whisk in confectioners' sugar, eggs, egg
yolks and extract until blended. Fold in flour.
Generously
grease and flour four 4-oz. ramekins; pour batter into ramekins. Do not
overfill. Place ramekins on tray in air-fryer basket; cook until a thermometer
reads 160° and edges of cakes are set, 10-12 minutes. Do not overcook.
Remove
from basket; let stand 5 minutes. Carefully run a knife around sides of
ramekins several times to loosen cake; invert onto dessert plates. Sprinkle
with crushed candies. Serve immediately.
