Cooking Instructions
- 1
Line a baking dish or muffin pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and/or spray lightly with nonstick spray. Scoop the macaroni into the dish or cups. Gently press a dent into the middle of each cup & place a cheese cube into each one. Cover top with additional macaroni & cheese. Refrigerate or Freeze until solidified, at least 3 hours or overnight.

When ready, place the flour & seasonings into a small bowl, beat the eggs in another bowl, & pour the cheetos and/or breadcrumbs into a third bowl. Crush the cheetos up with your favorite kitchen tool or use the bottom of a glass! 😉
- 3
Set your air fryer to about 360°. Dip the macaroni & cheese lava bombs first into the flour, then the egg, & finally the cheetos or breadcrumbs. Place into the air fryer for 20-30 minutes or until desired crispness is reached.

If deep frying, heat oil in fryer or pan. Dip the macaroni & cheese lava bombs first into the flour, then the egg, & finally the cheetos or breadcrumbs. Deep fry until desired crispness is reached. (keep your oil temperature on medium, 🙄 as mine was too high and they came out a little dark.😒🤦🏻♀️😆)

I air fried some & deep fried some. 🤷🏻♀️ I wanted to see what was better....🤔 I'm still undecided! 🤦🏻♀️😆👌 The air fryer ones were definitely better on the eyes! 🤣👍 Though both were cheesy & delicious!!!

Mac and Cheese Mac and Cheese
Finally, it is here! I had been wanting to make this dish for as long as I can remember. My daughters have been requesting for this for ages. Perhaps I couldn't find a great mac n cheese recipe, I mean I'd tried my fair share of mac n cheese, home-cooked and at eateries. I wasn't at all impressed. Sure, some are Instagram-worthy with all that photogenic cheese pull but most fall flat on flavors.They were either too gloopy or too blend without much depth in flavors. Some of the cheese sauces are too over-powering which kinda makes me wanna throw up. Yes, it is that bad. And please don't get me started on the bread crumbs. I also had tried my hands on some of the celebrity chef's recipes, but I still wasn't impress. Until I stumbled upon Heston Blumenthal's version. He is right, you will never cook mac n cheese the same way again.He is right about the typical cheese sauce or mornay sauce whereby it starts with a roux and mixing in the milk and cheese. The roux will somehow makes the sauce gloopy and mask the flavors of the cheese. He switched the traditional ingredients and methods out for 4 simple elements: wine, stock, corn flour and cheese. I was a bit mindblown cos I finally found someone who agrees with me. Without much hesitation, I went ahead with his recipe and guess what? He also uses the same pasta cooking method as I am. How cool is that? Daniel Lim
