Preheat the oven to 400°. Grease each soufflé ring or ramekin (3 inches in diameter x 2 inches tall) with butter and then dust with cocoa. You will need 4 to 6 ramekins depending on how big yours are.

To make the soufflé batter, microwave chocolate and...

To make the soufflé batter, microwave chocolate and butter in the microwave in 30 second intervals stirring in between until melted and smooth. Set aside.

Add the erythritol into the chocolate/butter mixture and...

Add the erythritol into the chocolate/butter mixture and mix until combined. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Add eggs to chocolate mixture and mix at low speed until mixture is smooth and erythritol is dissolved. Chill in fridge until ready to be used. This can be kept in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Fill each ring mold or ramekin with batter...

Fill each ring mold or ramekin with batter ¾ of the way full. Bake on top oven rack for 15-25 minutes; the time will depend on your oven and size of ramekins. You just want to make sure the tops are set but the middle is still gooey. Since every oven is different, it might be smart to test one. Remove baking sheet from oven. Use a knife to and run it around the edge then carefully invert and place on a serving dish. Sprinkle with powdered erythritol if desired. Serve immediately.

An easy low carb and keto-friendly molten chocolate cake that cooks in the microwave in about 1 minute.

Keto Chocolate Lava Mug Cake

unsalted butter (melted)

heavy cream

tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

tbsp powdered erythritol

2-3 sugar-free semisweet or dark chocolate squares (1 inch by 1 inch)

Add melted butter and heavy cream to a microwave-safe mug. Whisk until fully combined.

Add egg and whisk until batter is smooth. Make sure there are no egg white streaks.

Add half of the cocoa powder. Whisk until cocoa powder is completely mixed into the batter and no lumps remain. Add in remaining cocoa powder and mix until batter is smooth. Batter should be getting thick.

Add in erythritol. Whisk until evenly mixed into batter.

Place chocolate squares onto the center of the batter and gently push in until they are just covered. Don't push too far because they will sink when the cake cooks.

Cook cake in the microwave at full power for about 1 minute or until the middle of the cake puffs up, the cake has pulled away from the edges of the mug and is only slightly gooey around the edges.

You can top the cake with ice cream, whipped cream, sugar-free syrup or powdered erythritol. Enjoy cake while still warm. The melted chocolate center will be closer to the bottom half of the cake. If you want easier access to the chocolate center, you can also flip the cake upside down onto a plate. This will also allow all the melted chocolate to pour over the cake. Enjoy the cake while it is still warm.

Bake this gooey Keto Lava Cake for Two in the air fryer and it&#039;s ready in 10 minutes flat! It&#039;s the perfect low carb sweet treat for you and a loved one. Or just you and you!

Air Fryer Keto Lava Cakes

butter

cocoa powder

tbsp Swerve Confectioners ((see Expert tips

salt

egg (room temperature)

egg yolk (room temperature)

tsp vanilla extract

tbsp warm water

Preheat the air fryer to 350ºF. Lightly grease two jumbo-sized silicone muffin cups. (You can also use 4-ounce ramekins but the cakes may not release as easily.)

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt until smooth.

Add the egg and egg yolk and whisk until well combined. Don&#39;t worry if the mixture becomes a little gloppy. Whisk in the vanilla extract and the warm liquid until you have a smooth batter.

Divide the batter between the two prepared muffin cups and place on the lowest rack of the air fryer. Cook about 6 to 7 minutes, until the tops are set but it still feels a little soft in the center.

Remove and let cool a few minutes before flipping out onto a plate. If you used silicone muffin cups, they should come out easily. If you used ramekins, you will need to run a knife around the outer edge to loosen.

HOLYYYYYY this is better than some of the regular lava cake recipes out there. Bravo!!

amazing thank you it came out dense and so tasty. the middle was runny and the borders like a brownie. So grateful for health recipes

Carolyn, once again you have outdone yourself! These lava cakes were so easy and delicious.  They came out perfect and I used two very well greased with butter ramekins.  Thanks for taking out all the guesswork.

I made these in ceramic ramekins and 7  minutes in the air fryer was just perfect! This one is another keeper! Thanks Carolyn, hubby and me greatly appreciate all you do!

Just tried these, Carolyn - good result first time! I used ramekins and think I overcooked a little (could have been a bit more gooey), but that's on me for not sufficiently trusting your instructions, lol. 
They're so easy to whip up when that urge for a decadent dessert hits - thanks! :)

Oh em gee. These remind me of the chocolate upside-down cake from the Betty Crocker cookbook that my my sister &amp; I used to make - and wipe out!
Sooo good! 
After the first 3 times, I decided to use the 4-oz silicon cups. I made 3 little cakes. And promptly ate 2. So much for portion control! ;-0

getting ready for Valentines day so thought I would give this a go in the air fryer. it worked out great in glass ramekins but I'll see if I can get some silicone. I have a coffee protein ice cream in the freezer to run through my creami to accompany! yum and yum! thank you!
