| Cook the crispy cheese sticks | LumiBake S1 Pro 18L | Air Fry | 150°C | 30 min |
01 Prepare one mixing bowl for each flavour batch you plan to make.
02 For one batch, place 100 g of tapioca starch in a mixing bowl.
03 Add 70 g of milk.
04 Add 25 g of butter.
05 Add 25 g of beaten egg.
06 Add 1 g of salt.
07 For cocoa cheese sticks, add 5 g of cocoa powder.
08 For matcha cheese sticks, add 3 g of matcha powder.
09 For purple sweet potato cheese sticks, add 3.5 g of purple sweet potato powder.
10 For plain cheese sticks, do not add any flavour powder.
11 Mix the ingredients with a spatula until evenly combined.
12 Beat the mixture with an electric hand mixer for 3 minutes, or until smooth and well blended.
13 Add 25 g of shredded cheese.
14 Fold the cheese into the mixture until evenly distributed.
15 Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
16 Repeat the same process for the remaining flavour batches.
17 Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
18 Cut a small opening in the end of each piping bag.
19 Pipe the mixtures onto the tray in long, thin, straight lines.
20 Leave a small space between each stick so they do not join together during cooking.
21 Keep the sticks similar in length and thickness so they cook evenly.
22 Place the tray in the LumiBake S1 Pro 18L.
23 Select Air Fry mode and set the temperature to 150°C.
24 Cook for 30 minutes.
25 Adjust the cooking time slightly for particularly thin, thick, short or long sticks.
26 Remove the cheese sticks when they feel dry and firm and the edges are lightly golden.
27 Allow them to cool completely on the tray, as they will become crisper while cooling.
28 Transfer to a serving plate or airtight container.
