Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 (14 ounce) package empanada pastry discs
⅔ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
5 bananas, peeled and halved horizontally
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, or as needed
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl.
  • Place an empanada disc on a work surface. Place 1 tablespoon chocolate chips in the center of dough and top with 1/2 banana. Brush edges of empanada disc with egg mixture and fold in half, firmly pinching the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining empanada discs, bananas, and chocolate chips.
  • Brush empanadas with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Place 3 to 4 empanadas in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd, in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook in the air fryer until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter and repeat with remaining empanadas.
  • Meanwhile, whip cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; whip until stiff peaks form. Top warm empanadas with cinnamon whipped cream and sprinkle with additional cinnamon.

These empanadas were a bit dry. I think I would add some more butter or oil to the dough next time. The filling was good, but it could have been more flavorful. I would recommend adding some spices or extracts to the filling next time.

These empanadas were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The chocolate and banana filling was tasty, and the whipped cream was a nice touch. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I was a bit skeptical about making empanadas in the air fryer, but I was pleasantly surprised! They turned out perfectly crispy and golden brown. The filling was gooey and flavorful, and the whipped cream was the perfect topping.
