Then add the salt and pepper. Next add the almond flour and heavy cream. Mix until the meat mixture is easily able to form a loaf. If the mixture is too dry add the water 1 tablespoon at a time.
Next form the meat into 2 inch balls. Transfer the balls into the air fryer basket.
Only place the balls in a single layer and ~ 1 inch apart.
Cook for 10-12 minutes at 390F or until the meatballs have an internal temperature of 165F.
