If you've finally purchased your very own air fryer, I’m sure you’re always looking for ways to use it. As an avid dessert lover, I wanted to get my money’s worth and see what I could make with this new appliance.
I stumbled upon this recipe for a chocolate lava cake, but as much as I love eating lava cake, I was nervous and unsure about actually making my own. Surprisingly, this recipe was quick and easy, and turned out delicious.
This recipe uses ramekins, which are very easy to find, if you don't have your own yet.
