Instant Pot Grain Free Lava Cake
This decadent Molten Lava Cake is grain free and perfect for sharing! What better way to kick off love month then with an ooey-gooey chocolate cake!
If you’re unfamiliar with a lava cake, it’s an exciting dessert! The cake on the outside is spongy and wonderful but the middle is like a pudding. If that doesn’t wet your whistle I don’t know what will.
Let’s talk ingredients, in developing this recipe I wanted to make sure it was grain, nut, and dairy free! I use ghee instead of butter because it gives all the decadence of butter without the milk protein, which is the most common irritant when you have a dairy sensitivity. If you cannot consume ghee I suggest substituting it with coconut shortening or coconut oil.
Cacao powder is a superfood. It’s high in antioxidants and the purest form of chocolate you can consume. It is much less processed than cocoa powder although you can substitute cocoa powder in this recipe if that is all you have on hand.
There are so many options when it comes to dairy-free chocolate chips! Trader Joes, Costco, and even Target have their own name brands. The shtick for me is trying to find dairy-free chocolate that doesn’t contain soy. Processed soy can mimic estrogen in the body, in excess amounts it can cause you to store belly fat. I opt for Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips, they are nut free, dairy free, soy free, and grain free. They’re also Non-GMO project certified!
The instant coffee granules really enhance the chocolatey flavor, if you do not have them on hand there’s no need to worry. You can simply omit them and your cakes will still be very delicious!

Instant Pot Grain Free Lava Cake
- 4 tablespoons ghee or salted grass-fed butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1/8 teaspoon fine ground sea salt
- 1 cup water
-
Grease two 8 ounce, oven safe ramekins with ghee. Lightly dust the inside of the ramekins with cacao powder, set aside. In a blender or a food processor add 4 tablespoons ghee, eggs, chocolate chips, coconut sugar, arrowroot flour, coconut four, instant coffee, and sea salt. Blend until the ingredients form a smooth batter.
-
Fill the ramekins 3/4th’s full, dividing the batter evenly between the two, and cover with foil. Set the ramekins on top of the trivet. Place 1 cup of water inside your electric pressure cooker and carefully lower the trivet with the ramekins inside. Place the lid on the pot. Make sure the pressure knob is in the sealing position. Using the display panel, select the manual/pressure cook function, high pressure, and use the +/- buttons until the display reading 14 minutes.
-
When the cooker beeps to let you know its finished, switch the pressure knob from the sealing to the venting position, administering a quick release. Use caution while the steam escapes- it’s hot. Open the cooker and carefully remove the trivet. Discard the foil and carefully turn the cakes over onto serving plates. Dust them with the remaining cacao powder. Enjoy immediately.
