Notes
Be careful handing chilies: I will warn you first of all to either wear gloves when prepping this air fryer appetizer recipe or to remember not to touch your face at all. You will have chili on your fingers!
Room temperature dairy: Using softened cream cheese is preferable, as it mixes more easily.
Cool slightly before serving: These will be piping hot from the air fryer and you don't want anyone to burn their mouth, so let them sit for about 15 minutes before serving.
