Indulge in a decadently delightful dessert with these Red Velvet Air Fryer Lava Cakes! Bursting with rich chocolate flavor and a touch of classic red velvet, these mini cakes feature a gooey molten center that oozes with sweetness at the first forkful.

Made healthier without sacrificing taste, they come together in a snap in your air fryer, making them the perfect treat for date night or a cozy night in. Top with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar, and you have yourself a guilt-free dessert that’s sure to impress. Who knew lava could be so light and luscious?

I drizzled mine with some chocolate sauce and a few chocolate chips just for some texture. These would also be really good with some ice cream or whipped cream too. These are best served warm and gooey, but they can definitely be cooked for a little less time and then reheated a bit before serving and they should still have gooey centers.

Bursting with rich chocolate flavor and a touch of classic red velvet, these mini cakes feature a gooey molten center that oozes with sweetness at the first forkful.

Ingredients

3 Oz. Dark Chocolate
4 Tbsp. Butter
2 Whole Large Eggs
1 Egg White
1/3 C. Natural Sweetener
1/4 C. Flour
1 Tbsp. Red Food Coloring

Instructions

Lightly coat the inside of two ramekins with non-stick baking spray and coat the insides with flour to prevent sticking.
Place the 3 Oz. Dark Chocolate and 4 Tbsp. Butter into a small microwavable bowl together and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
Beat the 2 Whole Large Eggs, 1 Egg White, and 1/3 C. Natural Sweetener in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment for a couple of minutes or until the mixture becomes foamy.
Fold in the chocolate mixture, 1/4 C. Flour, and1 Tbsp. Red Food Coloring until combined.
Divide the mixture evenly between the ramekins and place in the air fryer to cook at 370 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes. (Mine were done at 9 minutes.)
Once done, remove from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly before running a butter knife around the edge to loosen.
Set a plate over the ramekin and flip gently to remove the lava cake to the plate.
Enjoy right away with a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired!
