Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake

By Crystal VanTassel-Lopez Leave a Comment

Most people do not know you can make Instant Pot desserts in your pressure cooker.

Did you know that?

We love lava cake. It is a favorite at our house. Let me show you just how easy it is to make Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake. You will love it!

This recipe tells you how to make four individual lava cakes using ramekins. This recipes tells you how to make them in your 6qt pressure cooker.

I also have an 8 qt Instant Pot. I am going to share a trick you with below for stacking more than four ramekins if you’re using an 8 qt pressure cooker.

What’s Lava Cake

Lava cake is a dessert that combines a creamy chocolate center with a flourless chocolate cake.

Many popular US restaurants offer it as a dessert but you can make it at home a variety of ways.

It is also referred to as Molten Chocolate Cake, or Chocolate Moelleux.

Lava Cake with Ice Cream

A popular way to serve chocolate lava cake is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The hot melting cake center mixed with the cold ice cream is a delicious dessert that many people love!

Ingredients

1 tbsp white sugar
1 stick unsalted butter(cut into pieces)
4 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 tsp instant coffee
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 tbsp all purpose flour
¼ tsp salt

Gather up all of your ingredients.

Directions

First you want to grease four 6-8oz ramekins and coat with powdered sugar and set aside.

Melt the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute.

Stir and repeat every 15 seconds until chocolate is melted and smooth. Don’t go too long in between checking it when heating it up or it can harden and you will have to pitch it.

Stir in powdered sugar.

Whisk in eggs and yolks, coffee, and vanilla.

If you’re not a coffee fan you can certainly omit the coffee. Totally up to you.

Stir in flour and salt.

Spoon equally into ramekins and cover with foil.

Pour 2 cups of water into Instant Pot liner and add trivet to the bottom.

Place 3 ramekins on the trivet and stack the 4th on top.

If you want to stack more than this and you’re using an 8 qt, this Instant Pot egg rack would be the perfect solution!

Lock Instant Pot lid and set vent to sealing.

Select Manual/Pressure Cook for 7-9 minutes. Yep, these sweet treat cook super fast in the electric pressure cooker.

When Instant Pot countdown finishes, release pressure completely using the quick release.

Remove ramekins carefully(they will be hot).

When you go to remove them from the ramekins you might need to gently use a knife around the edges. Or, you could use a silicone spatula.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

They are amazing!

Can You Make Lava Cake in the Slow Cooker?

Did you know you can also make this in the slow cooker?

This is one way to make it as a whole cake and not use ramekins.

Here is my Crockpot Lava Cake recipe. So good!

This is a great way to make it ahead of time and take to a potluck!

Can Lava Cakes Be Reheated?

You can. Any cake that is not eaten after you make them, leave it in the ramekin and cover it in foil. Keep it in the fridge for five to seven days. It’s sugar… so already has lots of preservatives.

Reheat the ramekins in the microwave in 15 second increments until it is heated thoroughly.

Once heated, dust the top with powered sugar.

Instant Pot Strawberry Dump Cake

By Crystal VanTassel-Lopez 5 Comments

Strawberries are a staple in our fridge when they are in season. Two of my boys will literally grab handfuls from the container and just eat them on a whim.

And we love to cook with them. Especially scrumptious desserts.

If you’re on the hunt for some delicious strawberry recipes, you’re in luck! We even use the pressure cooker to make this, which keeps the house cool!

Check out how easy it is to make this Instant Pot Strawberry Dump Cake.

Gather up all of your ingredients.

Ingredients:

Dump Cake:

1 (21 oz can) strawberry pie filling
1 c sliced strawberries.
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick (8T) of butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Vanilla Ice Cream for topping
foil for covering while cooking

Crumble:

1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c oats
1 c butter
1 c brown sugar

Directions:

Grab a bowl that is pressure cooker friendly. A porcelain oven proof casserole bowl will work.

To this bowl, add the strawberry pie filling, vanilla extract, and strawberries that have been sliced with stems removed.

Pour your cake mix on top of the strawberry pie mixture just right out of the box.

Cut the butter into pats and place on top of your cake mix.

Cover the bowl in foil.

Place the bowl on top of the trivet inside the Instant Pot.

POUR ONE CUP OF WATER INTO THE BASE OF THE INSTANT POT. When cooking in the pressure cooker you must have at least 1 cup of liquid, as this is what helps the Instant Pot pressurize and cook the food.

Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, while this is cooking, let’s prepare the crumble.

Place the butter in the saucepan and cook until melted on medium heat,

Add all other ingredients and remove from heat and stir until well combined and set aside.

Once the timer goes off on the pressure cooker and it stops cooking, allow it to slow release for 10 minutes and then you can remove the lid.

Take the foil off the baking dish and add your brown oat sugar crumble.

Pop it in the oven using the high broil setting for 5 minutes, uncovered. This will give it a gorgeous golden finish.

Spoon onto plates and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
