How To Make Air Fryer Homemade Ladyfingers

Prepare the air fryer tray with a fitted parchment paper sheet. Mix the egg yolks, ⅓ cup sugar, and salt until creamy in a large bowl. Stir in the flour, vanilla, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Add egg whites and cream of tartar to a separate large bowl and mix with an electric or stand mixer until peaks form. Add in ⅓ cup of sugar and mix until incorporated and stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whipped egg whites into the egg flour mixture until just incorporated. Add in the remaining egg white mixture until combined, avoid overmixing.

Spoon mixture into a piping bag with a 1-inch tip. Working in batches, pipe 1 inch thick and 3-4 inch long strips onto the parchment paper in the air fryer, leaving 2 inches of space between each ladyfinger.

Select the air fryer at 340 degrees and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the ladyfingers are cooked through and lightly golden. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve, or use in tiramisu. Enjoy!

FAQ’s:

How should I store my ladyfingers?

When you’re done baking a batch of ladyfingers, it’s important to store them properly so they stay fresh. Here are a few tips on how to store your ladyfingers and keep them tasting delicious.

Let the ladyfingers cool to room temperature, and then place them into an airtight container. They will last for about 2 to 3 days. You can also place them into a freezer bag, where they will stay good for about 1 to 2 months.

My ladyfingers are flat; where did I go wrong?

Ladyfingers are one of those cookies that always look so elegant and refined. But when they come out of the oven, they’re often disappointingly flat. So what’s the secret to getting them right? The answer really lies within the eggs.

Flat ladyfingers will be cause by not using room temperature eggs. When you use room temperature eggs, you can get a higher and fluffier egg white, which will cause your ladyfingers to rise.

The most common dessert that you use ladyfingers for, is Tiramisu. However, you can also eat them plain. Serve with a some chocolate sauce or whipped cream, for the perfect afternoon dessert.
