Ingredients You’ll Need
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1½ cups mini marshmallows
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For dipping:
• Graham crackers
• Strawberries
• Pretzels

Pro tip: Use a small oven-safe skillet or ramekin that fits in your air fryer basket.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the chocolate base
In your oven-safe dish, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to spread evenly.
2. Add marshmallows
Scatter mini marshmallows on top, covering the chocolate completely. These toasted clouds are the star of the show.
3. Preheat the air fryer
Set to 370°F (188°C) for 2–3 minutes. Preheating ensures marshmallows toast quickly and evenly.
4. Air fry the dip
Place the dish in the basket and cook for 5–7 minutes, until marshmallows are golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on them—they go from golden to burnt fast.
5. Serve immediately
Carefully remove from the air fryer. Let cool slightly, then grab your dippers and dive in. Pair it with other sweet treats like Air Fryer Strawberry Puff Pastries or Air Fryer Banana Bread for a full dessert spread.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Overcooking marshmallows – golden brown is perfect, black is regret.
Using a dish that’s too big – your air fryer needs space for air circulation.
Skipping the cream – chocolate without cream gets thick and less scoopable.
Walking away – marshmallows toast quickly; stay nearby.
Alternatives & Substitutions
• Chocolate: Use dark, white, or peanut butter chips.
• Extra flavor: Stir in peanut butter or drizzle caramel over chocolate.
• Crunchy toppings: Add crushed graham crackers, nuts, or chocolate chunks.
