STEP 1
Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit into an 8-inch pie tin. Gently press the pastry into the tin, ensuring it covers the base and sides evenly. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
STEP 2
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the beaten eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the ground almonds and almond extract until fully combined, creating a smooth almond custard filling.
STEP 3
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the base of the prepared puff pastry in the pie tin.
Carefully pour the almond custard filling over the jam layer, ensuring it covers the jam completely and spreads evenly.
STEP 4
Place the assembled Bakewell Pudding into the preheated air fryer oven.
Cook at 180°C (360°F) for 14 minutes, then carefully cover the pudding with foil to prevent over-browning.
Reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and continue to cook for an additional 11 minutes.
