Yep. That’s right, you can make delicious chocolate lava cakes right in your pressure cooker in no time at all. These Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes couldn’t be more simple to make with just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time you can have dessert ready to impress! What’s better is that these cakes are low carb naturally.

I lightened these up by swapping out ALL of the sugar for a natural sweetener. I went with a stevia that measures cup for cup like sugar, but you could really go with any natural sweeter that measures just the same.

Other than that I used a dark chocolate and well… that’s all there is to it! These Chocolate Lava Cakes are crazy simple so there isn’t a whole lot that you an change about them. They are definitely the best if you eat them right away. Making them ahead of time isn’t exactly ideal but it also shouldn’t be an issue since they come together and cook so quickly.

Although I haven’t tried it, I’m sure you could use any kind of chocolate here and probably could sub in a gluten free flour if you wanted it to be gluten free.
