Method
- 1
Beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp soybean powder together until smooth and spreadable, then refrigerate while the toast cooks.
- 2
Butter both sides of each bread slice all the way to the crust — dry corners scorch before the center browns.
- 3
Arrange the slices in a single layer and air fry at 350°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping at 4 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp outside but still soft in the middle.
- 4
If using rice cakes, toss the cubes with the oil and air fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes until puffed and blistered. Use them within a few minutes — they turn hard as they cool.
- 5
Whisk the remaining ¼ cup soybean powder with the powdered sugar and salt in a small bowl.
- 6
Spread the injeolmi cream thickly on the hot toast, dust heavily with the soybean powder mixture through a fine sieve, scatter on the rice cake cubes, drizzle with condensed milk, and dust once more.
- 7
Cut into thick strips and serve within a few minutes, while the toast is still crisp under the cream.
Pro tip. Buy roasted soybean powder (bokkeun konggaru), not raw soy flour — raw tastes chalky and beany and no amount of sugar fixes it. Even roasted powder that has sat in the pantry perks up if you toast it in a dry skillet over low heat for 2 minutes until it smells nutty, then cool it before mixing with the sugar.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 19 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
