Airfryer recipe: Chocolate moelleux with Amarena cherries (perfect for Christmas!)

An original festive meal that doesn’t require you to spend the entire evening in the kitchen — doesn’t that sound like music to your ears? Sure, that’s possible if you’re eating at someone else’s house, but is dinner at your place? Then I have two words for you: Philips Airfryer. You can make an entire Christmas dinner with it. How about this irresistible chocolate dessert?

As far as I’m concerned, the ideal festive menu is one that doesn’t require you to spend the entire evening stirring pots, but that you can prepare quickly, while still being able to join your guests at the table for a convivial meal in between. With the Airfryer as your sous chef you’ll manage it.

Manon Van Aerschot (@macaron_manon) came up with an original starter of pheasant meatballs with garam masala and cranberry sauce, an Ottolenghi-style main course of salmon, orange and pistachio, and this irresistible chocolate dessert.

How to make chocolate moelleux with Amarena cherries

1. Melt the butter and chocolate.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and sugar, then gradually add the flour.
3. Then stir in the chocolate mixture.
4. Spoon the Amarena cherries into the moulds. Fill the moulds with the batter.
5. Bake them for about 8 to 10 minutes in the Philips Airfryer at 160°C.
6. Finish the chocolate moelleux with the toasted almond flakes and some icing sugar.

Manon’s tip: choose beautiful dessert bowls. In the Airfryer, you can use any ovenproof materials (glass, ceramic, metal or silicone).

Merry Christmas!
