Ingredients
Scale
Pastry Filling
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
Other
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F to ensure even cooking and puffing of the pastries.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, providing a sweet base for the filling.
- Cut Puff Pastry: Slightly roll out the puff pastry sheet, then cut it into 4 equal rectangles to create individual pastry portions.
- Add Fillings: Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each rectangle, then evenly top with chopped Snickers pieces and a drizzle of caramel sauce for delightful flavor layers.
- Seal Pastries: Fold the pastry over the filling to form a pocket and seal the edges firmly with a fork to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the beaten egg and milk together to create an egg wash, then brush this mixture over the tops of the pastries to help them brown beautifully.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then place the pastries inside, leaving space between them for air circulation.
- Air Fry: Cook the pastries in the preheated air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pastries from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor. Serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle additional chocolate on top before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes to regain crispness.
