Notes

  • All air fryers cook differently adjust accordingly to your air fryer.
  • These can be baked, I would suggest starting at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes and going from there.
  • These can be deep fried, place into oil and fry for about 3 to 5 minutes until crispy and golden.
  • To freeze after making: place in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour, once they have hardened place in a storage container. To reheat simply place in oven or air fryer.
  • Lasts up to 3 days in the fridge, but they will soften as they sit there.
