Air Fryer Boston Cream Pie

Crafting a Boston Cream Pie in an air fryer using ramekins requires a touch of finesse. Here are some pro tips to ensure perfection: Even Distribution: Ensure the batter is evenly distributed among the ramekins to promote consistent cooking. Preheat the Air Fryer: Just like a conventional oven, preheating your air fryer can make a significant difference in the end result. It ensures a consistent temperature from the start of the baking process. Space Out Ramekins: Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket ensuring there's enough space between them. This allows for better air circulation, ensuring even cooking. Monitor Cooking Time: Since air fryers can cook faster than traditional ovens, it's crucial to regularly check your pies to prevent overbaking. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when it's done. Temperature Check: Air fryers can sometimes be hotter than their settings suggest. If you have an oven thermometer, place it inside to double-check the actual temperature. Cooling is Key: Once cooked, let the mini pies cool in the ramekins for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps set the structure and makes filling them easier. Piping the Cream: When it's time to add the cream, using a piping bag will give you more control and a neater finish. Enjoy your air-fried Boston Cream Pie with all its luscious layers!
