A home cook has shared how she used her $69 Kmart air fryer to create the perfect summer snack.

‘Ice cream scoops (cricket-ball-sized) sprinkled with cinnamon and rolled in crushed Crunchy Nut cereal or corn flakes. 

‘Frozen for four hours or until hard. Pre-heated for five minutes at 200 degrees, cooked for four minutes at same temperature, baking paper underneath.’

She concluded: ‘Crunchy coating, frozen ice cream’. 

The woman accompanied her post with a picture of the air-fried ice cream, and added that it’s helpful to ‘freeze the balls for as long as possible’.    

‘Cook for 2-3 minutes or check regularly to prevent melting,’ she said.

People online were hugely impressed with the snack made in the air fryer (pictured), with close to 1,500 people liking and saying they couldn't wait to try the recipe

How does an air fryer work?

These kitchen tools are appropriately named because they work by circulating hot air around the food inside, much like hot oil surrounds food to cook it all the way through on a stove top.

Where ovens may be better for toasting, broiling and roasting, the air fryer is predominantly used to make food ‘crispy’ – without the fat content from oil.

‘I think I’ve just died and gone to heaven, this is a game changer,’ one person posted.

‘Oh my good god, that looks amazing,’ another added.

This isn’t the first time the Kmart air fryer has been used to whip up an array of snacks.

Other home cooks have used the device to make everything from dim sim to roast pork, apple crumble and even soft-boiled eggs or big breakfasts.
