How To Make Air Fryer Raspberry Chocolate Puffs

Step One: Combine the milk chocolate chips, white baking chips, and chopped pecans in a bowl, tossing them together until well mixed.

Step Two: On a lightly floured surface, roll each sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch square, then cut each sheet into four 6-inch squares.

Step Three: Place each square of pastry on an ungreased baking sheet, then top each with about 1/3 cup of the chocolate-pecan mixture. Lightly brush the edges of the pastry with water and bring all four corners together, pinching the seams to seal.

Step Four: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 5-8 minutes to ensure it’s hot enough for cooking puff pastry. After preheating, place a sheet of parchment paper in the air fryer basket to prevent the pastry from sticking and to avoid any fire hazard.

Step Five: Arrange the pastry on the parchment paper and set the air fryer to cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crisp. Remove the pastry from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes

Step Six: In a blender, puree the thawed raspberries with 1 cup of powdered sugar, blending until smooth. Serve the warm puff pastry alongside the raspberry sauce for dipping or drizzling.

Air Fryer Raspberry Chocolate Puffs Recipe Tips

• Use Thawed Puff Pastry: Ensure your puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to avoid cracks and ensure an even texture.
• Don’t Overfill: Add just enough filling to prevent the pastry from bursting or leaking during cooking.
• Seal Edges Well: Lightly brush the pastry edges with water and pinch them tightly to seal, ensuring the filling stays inside.
• Use Parchment Paper: Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket to prevent the pastries from sticking or burning.
• Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the puffs in the last few minutes of cooking, as air fryer models may vary in cook time.
• Cool Before Serving: Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving to avoid hot filling burns.
• Enhance the Presentation: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra melted chocolate for a professional touch.

Storing

• Storing: Place leftover puffs in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
• Freezing: Arrange the uncooked puffs on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
• Reheating: For stored or frozen puffs, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes or until heated through and crispy again.

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the puffs ahead and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours or freeze them for later use.

What if I don’t have parchment paper? You can use a lightly greased air fryer basket, but parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
