Air-Fryer Almond Frangipane Berry Slices

Air-fryer almond frangipane berry slices from Sweet Munch, built for hot pastry, molten centres, sticky sugar and proper dessert chaos.

This is what happens when a French patisserie decides being delicious isn't quite enough. Buttery pastry. Soft almond frangipane. Sweet berries. Golden flaky layers. The sort of dessert that looks expensive, tastes expensive, and somehow costs far less than the bakery would like

Air-Fryer Almond Frangipane Berry Slices preparation stage

You’ll Need

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
75g butter, softened
75g caster sugar
1 egg
100g ground almonds
100g mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries)
½ tsp vanilla extract
For The Finish
2 tbsp flaked almonds
1 tbsp icing sugar
Optional But Dangerous
White chocolate drizzle
Vanilla ice cream
Extra berries

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

Line a small square baking tin or foil tray with baking paper.

Press the puff pastry into the tin, trimming any excess.

In a bowl, beat together the butter and caster sugar until smooth.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and ground almonds.

Mix until fully combined into a thick frangipane mixture.

Spread the frangipane evenly over the pastry base.

Scatter the berries across the top, pressing them in lightly.

Sprinkle over the flaked almonds.

Air fry at 180°C for 12–15 minutes until the pastry is golden, the frangipane is set, and the almonds are lightly

toasted.

Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes.

Dust generously with icing sugar before slicing into squares.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Lad Tip: Frangipane should stay slightly soft in the middle. If it turns dry and crumbly, you've baked it too long. The goal is buttery almond cake sitting somewhere between pastry and pudding, which is exactly why people keep going back for another slice.
