Preparation
Cooking:
Combine gnocchi, melted butter and ground cinnamon.

Cook gnocchi for 12 minutes at 370°F/190°C in Air Fry mode.
Shake halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
Coating:
Combine the white sugar and ground cinnamon, then pour the hot gnocchi directly into the mixture and toss to coat.
Chocolate ganache:
Finely chop the chocolate. Heat the cream (in the microwave or in a saucepan).
Gradually add the chocolate to the hot cream, stirring to obtain a smooth ganache.
And there you have it—ready to enjoy! Snack on these crunchy yet soft gnocchi, with their delicious cinnamon flavor, dipped in chocolate ganache!
