Tips For Making The Best Air Fried Chocolate Shortcakes

Air frying is one of the quickest and simplest methods for making delicious desserts. If you’re looking for a way to make the best air-fried chocolate shortcakes, here are some tips that can help!

Choose Your Chocolate Wisely

When air frying your chocolate shortcakes, it’s important to use good-quality chocolate. Look for high-cacao percentage dark chocolate with minimal additives or dairy content. This will ensure that you achieve rich, intense flavor in your shortcake.

Preparing The Dough

To get the most out of your dough, it’s best to prepare it ahead of time and let it rest overnight in the fridge. Make sure to roll the dough out evenly and press down firmly when shaping your cakes or biscuits.

Air Frying At The Right Temperature

The ideal temperature range for air frying your shortcakes is between 320-350°F. Depending on the type of air fryer you have, this may vary slightly so always check the manual or instructions first.

Cool

Once cooked, allow your chocolate shortcakes to cool on a wire rack before serving.

How To Store Shortcakes

Shortcakes are one of the most delicious desserts, and they should be treated with care. Learning how to store them properly can help ensure that they last longer so you can enjoy them for more than just one meal! Here are a few tips for storing shortcakes:

Room Temperature Storage

For short-term storage, shortcakes can be kept at room temperature. Place them on a wire rack lined with parchment paper or waxed paper and cover them with a clean tea towel or plastic wrap. This will help keep the cakes from drying out.

Refrigeration

If you need to store your cakes for a longer period of time, put them in an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. Make sure there is no condensation on the lid or inside the container before sealing it up. The cakes should last up to five days this way.

Freezing

To make sure your shortcakes last even longer, you can freeze them in an airtight container for up to two months. When thawing frozen cakes, always start by removing them from their containers and placing them on a wire rack lined with parchment paper or waxed paper before putting them back into their containers when cooled down.
