Absolute Aussie Genius Comes Up With Caramello Koala Air Fryer Recipe

Not the recipe we need, but the one we deserve

We've all come up with some weird and wonderful concoctions thanks to the air fryer, and lockdown has only given us more time to dwell on the possibilities.

But one bloody genius has upped the ante with their creation, which has gone viral on social media - the air fryer Caramello Koala.

The 'recipe' - if you can call it that - was posted onto the Facebook page Share Kmart Air Fryer Recipes Australia. There's not a hell of a lot to it, but it gives back so much to the hungry chef.

Joanne Palmer wrote on her post: "3.2L air fryer Caramello Koala and Freddo Frog. Definitely the kids' new favourite dessert. It tastes delicious and the chocolate melted really nicely inside. Cooked at 190C for 9 minutes."

Simples.

Speaking to Taste, Joanne revealed that she was inspired by all the other slices on ingenuity she saw on social media.

"My partner and I saw the Caramilk version in the group and we tried it and loved it," she said.

"Then we were talking about all the different chocolates we could use and he mentioned Caramello Koala and I was like, 'OMG! Yes!'"

Once you get your Caramello Koalas and pastry, you just need to cut out the appropriate size and whack it over the top of the chocolate. Then you just have to crimp the sides and slop a bit of milk on the pastry to make it all golden and crispy - and Bob's your uncle.

Aussies have been flocking to air fryer recipes over the past few months because they're just so easy.

Loads of methods are similar to the slow cooker in the sense that you just set and forget (but obviously don't forget about it too much otherwise you'll have no food left).
