→ Pastry
01 -
1 sheet puff pastry (17.3 ounces pack)
02 -
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels or chips
03 -
1 small egg for egg wash
04 -
½ teaspoon confectioner's sugar for dusting
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and set timer for 15 minutes.
02 -
Thaw puff pastry sheet until pliable. Unfold on a parchment-lined tray dusted with flour and cut into 6 equal rectangles.
03 -
Place semi-sweet chocolate morsels at the center of each rectangle. Fold pastry on both sides and press the end tips with a fork. Make two slits on top of each pastry.
04 -
If pastry becomes too soft, chill in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or freezer for 5-10 minutes to ensure better puffing.
05 -
Gently transfer chocolate-filled pastries onto the air fryer tray, ensuring sufficient space between each piece.
06 -
Lightly brush each pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
07 -
Insert air fryer tray into the middle cooking chamber near the rotisserie catch.
08 -
Cook pastries for 12-15 minutes or until completely puffed and golden brown.
09 -
Remove tray from cooking chamber and allow pastries to cool for a couple of minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
10 -
Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar using a sieve before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
This recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Different air fryer models may require time and temperature adjustments.
02 -
Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet morsels work well, but any preferred brand of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips can be substituted.
03 -
Place seam side down for a neat appearance or seam side up for a more rustic, uneven puff effect.
04 -
Lightly spray older air fryer trays with oil to prevent sticking.
