Air fryer marzipan chocolate brownies

Method

1. Grease and line the cake tin with butter and baking paper so the paper hangs over the sides (or the air fryer itself – see ‘before you start’). Heat the air fryer to 120°C. Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl/dish that will fit in your air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until melted and combined. Leave to cool.
2. Meanwhile, pinch off 1-2cm chunks of the marzipan and roll them into rough balls. Set aside.
3. Stir the sugar into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in the flour, followed by the eggs and a pinch of salt. Tip half the mixture into the prepared cake tin, then scatter over the marzipan balls. Cover with the remaining mixture and sprinkle over the almonds.
4. Heat the air fryer to 160°C and bake the brownies for 30-38 minutes or until set on top but with a slight wobble. The time will depend on the size of your cake tin – the smaller the tin (and therefore the deeper the brownie), the longer they will take to cook.
5. Put the air fryer drawer or tin onto a wire rack to cool. Once at room temperature, carefully lift out the brownie using the paper and cut into squares.
