Instructions
-
Prep the ramekins: Lightly butter 4 ramekins and dust with flour to prevent sticking.

Melt butter & chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and white chocolate together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
Whisk eggs: In another bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
-
Add matcha & flour: Sift in matcha powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold to combine.
-
Combine: Slowly mix the melted butter–chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.
-
Fill ramekins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
-
Air fry: Place ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 7–8 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
-
Serve: Let cool 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with ice cream.
