50g dark chocolate, chopped

Method
Preheat your air fryer to 170°C.
Lightly grease four ramekins or one medium oven-safe pudding dish.
Scatter the chopped pain au chocolat evenly into the dish.
Sprinkle over the chopped dark chocolate.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the pastry pieces.
Leave for 5 minutes so the pastry starts absorbing the custard.
Air fry at 170°C for 12–15 minutes until golden on top and lightly set in the centre.
Allow to rest for 3 minutes.
Dust with icing sugar and finish with grated dark chocolate.
Serve warm while the chocolate remains soft and molten.
