Air fryer desserts that TikTok chefs love

Did you know you can make delicious desserts using your air fryer? Not only can your air fryer cook up a wide range of tasty treats, but it can often do so more quickly than a traditional oven! Whether you’re looking to save some time or are simply curious about what you can make in your air fryer, head over to TikTok for some inspiration. Here are five delicious desserts you can make in your air fryer.

1. Air fryer donuts

These air fryer donuts not only taste great, but they’re also healthier than traditional donuts, which are usually fried in oil! To make them, mix flour, sugar, dry active yeast, salt, eggs, melted butter and milk. Knead the dough into a smooth ball, and place it in a bowl. Cover the dough, and let it sit for an hour. Then roll it out, cut out donut shapes, and brush on butter. Let it sit for one more hour. Then air fry the donuts at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for three to five minutes. Coat in glaze or cinnamon sugar and enjoy!

2. Low-carb strawberry cheesecake chimichangas

These low-carb strawberry cheesecake chimichangas are so creative! To make them, whip together cream cheese, powdered sweetener and vanilla. Then fold in diced strawberries. Next, slice low-carb flatbread into rectangles, scoop the filling onto them, roll them up, and brush them with butter. Air fry the roll-ups at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for six minutes. Then brush with cinnamon and the low-carb sweetener of your choice. 

3. Air fryer s’mores

Did you know you can make perfect s’mores in your air fryer? Just place graham crackers into your air fryer. Then top with marshmallows, and cook at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for seven minutes. Next, place chocolate pieces and a second graham cracker on top of the marshmallows and enjoy!

4. Air fryer chocolate chip cookies

You can make classic chocolate chip cookies in your air fryer in a fraction of the time it takes to bake them traditionally. Start by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes, and form into cookies. Bake the cookies in your air fryer at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for five to eight minutes.

5. Air fryer baked apples

In a bowl, mix melted butter, oats, flour, cinnamon and maple syrup. Cover the apples in the oat topping, and cook in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Top with whipped cream and dig in!
