Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake (For One or Two)

Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake (For One or Two)

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bar)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or spray for greasing ramekins

Instructions
 

  • Grease your ramekins well with butter or cooking spray (two 6-oz ramekins work best).
  • Melt chocolate & butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
  • Add the egg, egg yolk, and sugar. Stir until smooth.
  • Mix in vanilla, salt, and flour. Don’t overbeat—just combine until smooth.
  • Divide batter between ramekins and cover each tightly with foil.
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Place ramekins on a trivet.
  • Pressure cook on High for 9 minutes. Quick release the pressure when time is up.
  • Let sit for 2 minutes, then carefully remove and uncover. Serve in ramekins or flip out gently onto plates.
