Before You Start
Two ingredients, one small dish, six minutes. The air fryer's top-down heat is almost exactly a grill, which is why marshmallows blister beautifully in it. Watch it through the last minute, since the gap between golden and black is very short.
Instructions
-
Scatter the chocolate chips in an even layer across the base of a small ovenproof dish that fits your basket. Pour the cream over and add a pinch of salt.
-
Cover the chocolate completely with mini marshmallows, standing them close together so no chocolate shows through.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C / 375°F for 2 minutes, then lower the dish in carefully.
-
Air fry for 4 minutes without opening. The marshmallows will swell and start to colour.
-
Check every 30 seconds from here. Pull it as soon as the tops are deep golden and blistered, usually at 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Rest for 2 minutes so the chocolate underneath finishes melting, then serve immediately with biscuits and strawberries for dipping.

♨️ Air fryer notes
- Cook at 190°C / 375°F and preheat for 2 to 3 minutes for the crispiest result.
- Keep everything in a single layer with space around each piece. Overcrowding steams food instead of crisping it, so cook in batches if your basket is small.
- Shake or turn halfway, and check a few minutes early, since air fryers cook faster than ovens and every model runs slightly differently.
💡 Cook's tips
- Use a dish no deeper than about 5 cm. In a deep dish the marshmallows brown long before the chocolate below has melted.
- The splash of cream is what keeps the chocolate scoopable rather than setting hard as it cools.
🔀 Make it your own
- Add a spoon of peanut butter or Biscoff spread under the marshmallows.
- Use dark chocolate and a pinch of chilli flakes for a grown-up version.
📦 Storing & reheating
Eat it straight away; this does not keep or reheat well. If you must, warm leftovers at 160°C for 2 minutes, though the marshmallow will not re-blister.
❓ Frequently asked
How long does s'mores dip take in an air fryer?
