Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two

Step 1

In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 10-15 second intervals until completely melted.

Step 2

Add powdered sugar and combine until smooth.

Step 3

Add two eggs, and beat until completely combined.

Step 4

Add vanilla, flour, and cocoa powder.

Step 5

Divide the batter between two greased ramekins. I added a Reese's peanut butter cup in the middle of the large ramekin for my husband.

Step 6

Place the trivet in the Instant Pot, along with 1 cup of water. Carefully place your ramekins on the trivet. Put the lid on the pot, and set on manual high pressure for 7-10 minutes, depending on how much "lava" you like.

Step 7

When the 7-10 minutes are up, do a quick pressure release. Take the ramekins out of the pot with a pair on tongs and turn over onto a plate.

Step 8

If there is too much liquid on top, you can dab it off with a paper towel. If it’s still too much lava in the middle, just microwave it for 15 seconds or until it is the doneness you prefer. Don’t try pressure cooking it again. Serve with ice cream, chocolate syrup, strawberries, and a kiss!
