Part 4/8:
In the final 10 minutes, the temperature is lowered to 310°F (about 155°C). This two-stage baking process creates a crispy, brownie-like top while keeping the inside irresistibly molten and gooey. The air fryer's transparent window allows bakers to monitor progress without opening the door—a feature especially appreciated since frequent opening can disrupt baking. The total baking time is approximately 22 minutes, resulting in a crusty dome with a cracked surface that hints at the luscious, underbaked center.
