This is a pretty forgiving recipe. It was the first dessert I ever baked on my own when I was about 11 years old! I’ve used coconut oil instead of butter, different flours and this time you will see the mixture is all lumpy in the bottom image as I didn’t melt the butter – it was soft at room temp so I just threw it in and stirred and it melted in the air fryer and turned out just fine. You can see where I tasted this one before I took the pic (and I may have accidentally cooked it at 180 before I realized and dropped it to 160. It’s a little dark on top but still tastes amazing!) Have fun, let the kids have a go … and enjoy! It’s easy to make and soooo tasty. You’re welcome 🙂
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk or milk replacement (coconut, rice etc)
- 1 cup sugar or sugar substitue (I use Sukrin Gold)

- In a large bowl, whisk eggs.
- Add milk, sugar, butter, vanilla and stir well.

- Place into air fryer and bake for 30-40 minutes at 160ºC (this depends on your oven – I bake at this temp in my 2225w Philips XXL)
