INGREDIENTS

  • Empanadas

    • 🥚 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

  • Cinnamon Whipped Cream

    • 1 cup heavy cream

    • 1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2

Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl.

3

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.

4

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.

5

Cook in the air fryer until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter and repeat with remaining empanadas.

6

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.
