Coconut macaroons are a delightful treat that encapsulate the essence of simplicity and indulgence. At Two Peas & Their Pod, we embrace the charm of these chewy confections, crafted from just a handful of ingredients. The blend of finely shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk creates a moist, sticky base, while a hint of vanilla brings out the flavours beautifully.

Once shaped into little mounds, the macaroons are baked until they achieve a golden-brown exterior, with a toasty aroma that fills the kitchen. For an added touch of elegance, we often dip the bottoms in rich dark chocolate, providing a perfect contrast to the sweet coconut. Whether enjoyed with a cup of tea or as a sweet nibble on their own, these macaroons are a delightful bite-sized piece of bliss that never fails to bring a smile. Perfect for sharing—or not!

How to Make Air Fryer Desserts

The air fryer isn’t just for savoury dishes; it can also create delicious sweet treats with ease! To start, consider the variety of desserts that can be made—think warm, gooey cookies, crispy doughnuts, or even a decadent chocolate cake.

First, gather your ingredients. A basic cookie dough works wonderfully in the air fryer. Mix together flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and your choice of chocolate chips or dried fruits. Once your dough is ready, form small balls and place them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.

Set your air fryer to around 160°C and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as air fryers can vary in temperature. You'll know they’re done when they're lightly golden and the edges are firm while the centre remains slightly soft.

For something a bit more indulgent, try air frying stuffed doughnuts. Simply take ready-made dough, fill it with jam or custard, then brush with a little melted butter. Air fry at 190°C for about 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are puffed and golden.

Be adventurous and experiment with different flavours and ingredients—cinnamon sugar, coconut, or even a drizzle of chocolate once your desserts are cool. With a little creativity, your air fryer can become your go-to appliance for delightful desserts that are sure to impress!
