Baked Peaches with Amaretti Biscuits (serves 2)
if you have a food processor, why not use this to chop up your biscuits and nuts?
• 40g toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
• 40g amaretti biscuits, crushed
• 25g unsalted butter, room temperature (soft spread can also be used as a substitute)
• 15g caster sugar
• 1 free-range egg yolk
• ½ lemon, juice only
• 2 ripe peaches or nectarines
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp thickened cream
• 2 sprigs fresh mint (optional)
• Icing sugar (optional)
• Raspberries (optional)
1. Mix the hazelnuts, biscuits, butter, sugar, and egg yolk in a bowl until the ingredients hold together as a
rough paste.
2. Cut each peach in half, remove the stone and pack a rounded spoonful of the filling onto each half. This
should fill the cavity in the peach and cover most of the exposed half of the fruit.
3. Place the halves onto the lightly oiled roasting rack. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes on the dual heat mode
setting with your Halo+ air fryer in the LEVEL position until cooked (the cooking time will depend on the
ripeness of the fruit).
4. To serve, place the baked peaches on to serving plates, and place a large dollop of the thick cream alongside
it. Optionally, garnish with mint and a handful of fresh raspberries and dust with icing sugar.
Bread and Butter Pudding
• 400g sliced fruit loaf
• 50g butter, softened
• Cooking spray
• 100g dried fruit (apricots are great and full of fibre)
• 600ml milk
• 2 medium eggs, beaten
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• Honey
1. Butter all of the fruit loaf, and cut each slice in half diagonally to create 2 triangles.
2. Spray the inner bowl with the cooking spray. Arrange the triangles in the base of the bowl. Overlapping is fine
and a snug fit is good.
3. Scatter the dried fruit over the bread.
4. Warm the milk in a microwave or in a small pan – warm milk will soak into the bread easier.
5. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Add the warm milk and whisk again.
6. Pour the warmed milk mixture over the bread and press down gently with the back of a spoon to make sure
all the bread is soaked in the mixture.
7. Set aside to allow further soaking for ½ hour.
8. The Halo+ air fryer cooks food at a high temperature, so it is important that you follow this step: cut out
a circle of foil, this needs to fit over the top of your pudding like a lid. Cut a small incision in the centre to
allow the foil to fit over the middle axis.
9. Sit the foil circle on top of your pudding, lying a clean teaspoon on either side (once the fan begins to work
on your Halo+ air fryer it won’t lift the foil up!).
10. Set your timer for 15 minutes and cook in the dual heat mode setting in the LEVEL position.
11. After the 15 minutes has passed, remove the teaspoons using a heatproof cloth. We recommend that you
place these straight into the sink as these will be hot.
12. Remove the foil and drizzle the top of the pudding with honey.
13. Cook for a further 5 to 7 minutes in the mode above, until well risen and golden.
14. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Although delicious hot, the bread and butter pudding also works chilled, served alongside our Fresh Berry
Compote.
