BUTTERSCOTCH LAVA CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray four 6-ounce ovenproof ramekins with baking spray and place on a baking sheet.
• Microwave the butterscotch chips and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Whisk until smooth and the butterscotch has melted. Stir in the sugar until well blended. Whisk in the whole eggs and yolks, then add the vanilla. Stir in the flour. Divide the mixture among the prepared ramekins.
• Bake until the sides of the cakes are firm and the centers are soft, 13 to 15 minutes. Let stand 1 minute. Invert onto individual plates while warm. Serve with chocolate ice cream on top.

INSTANT POT CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES

Steps:

• Lightly coat four 6-ounce heat-safe ramekins (each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter) with cooking spray. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the granulated sugar to each one, turning ramekin to coat all sides. Tap out any extra sugar out and set ramekins aside.
• Combine the butter and both chocolate chips in a medium heat-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals until just melted, stirring with a heat-safe silicone spatula after each interval, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• Immediately whisk in the brown sugar, then allow to cool for 5 minutes. Combine the salt, cornstarch and flour in a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the whole eggs, egg yolks and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth and glossy. Whisk in the flour mixture until a thick batter forms.
• Divide the batter evenly among the 4 prepared ramekins. Cover each ramekin tightly with foil.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups water in the bottom of a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot®. Place the steamer rack in the pot and put the ramekins on the rack in a single snug layer. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set the pot to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid.
• Use tongs to carefully remove the ramekins from the pot, then remove the foil. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. The cakes should look matte on top, but if any still look glossy and undercooked the cakes will finish setting up as they cool slightly.
• Use a paring knife to gently go around the edges of each cake and carefully invert onto a plate. Dust the cakes with confectioner's sugar and serve immediately.
