Ingredients Needed

• Egg Wash: Brushed on the pastry before baking, an egg wash gives your Danish that beautiful golden-brown finish.

How To Make Air Fryer Raspberry Danish

Step One: Start by removing the puff pastry sheets from the freezer and letting them thaw. Follow the package instructions for thawing, which typically involves about 40 minutes at room temperature.

Step Two: Place the puff pastry onto a generously floured work surface. Roll it into a sizable square, approximately 12″x 12″. Using a sharp chef’s knife or a pizza cutter– divide the pastry into 9 equally sized squares.

Step Three: Place the raspberry preserves in the center of each pastry square. Brush each pastry with the beaten egg, ensuring a nice glaze.

Step Four: Beat an egg and brush it over the pastry for a golden-brown finish. Place the puff pastry into the air fryer and set the cooking temperature to 350 degrees F for set cook time for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Slice your Raspberry Danish into pieces and serve warm. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, snack-time, or even dessert!

Air Fryer Raspberry Danish Recipe Tips

• Use Cold Puff Pastry – Keep your puff pastry cold for the best flaky texture. Let it thaw slightly, but don’t let it get too soft.
• Check the Air Fryer Early – Air fryers vary, so check the Danish after about 6-7 minutes to prevent over-browning. Adjust the time as needed.
• Brush with Butter – For an even richer flavor, brush the pastry with melted butter before air frying, especially if you want a golden, buttery finish.
• Top with Powdered Sugar – Once the Danish cools, sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for a sweet finishing touch.
• Experiment with Fruit – You can swap the raspberry preserves for other fruit fillings like strawberry, blueberry, or even apricot for a fun twist.

Storing

• Storing: Store leftover Air Fryer Raspberry Danish in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them to keep the pastry fresh, but it may lose some of its crispiness.
• Freezing: To freeze, wrap each Raspberry Danish individually in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month and reheated when needed.
• Reheating: Reheat your Air Fryer Raspberry Danish in the air fryer at 350°F for about 3-5 minutes until heated through and crispy. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but they may not be as crispy.
