Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg yolk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.33333334326744 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Grease 2 individual ramekins.

Step 2

Combine chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving at 15-second intervals until almost melted; stir until chocolate is completely melted and thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Whisk confectioners' sugar, egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt into melted chocolate until combined. Whisk in flour until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared ramekins; place in the air fryer basket. Cover the ramekins with large pieces of aluminum foil, tucking ends underneath to prevent foil from flying off.

Step 4

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking until edges are set, 2 to 4 minutes more.

Step 5

Transfer ramekins to a heat-proof work surface; set aside for 5 minutes. Invert cakes onto dessert plates. Serve hot.
