Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
To make the puff pastry hearts with hazelnut cream, open a roll of rectangular puff pastry and spread hazelnut cream on one half, keeping at least a quarter inch distance from the edges. Close it with the other half, pressing well to seal the edges. I recommend using a rolling pin to flatten it properly.
Cut the pastry into strips about 3/4 inch wide and roll them, then shape them into a heart.
Transfer the puff pastry hearts to the air fryer basket and cook at 340°F for 10 minutes, then increase to 355°F and continue for another 5 minutes. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 355°F for about 30 minutes.
Once ready, dust the surface with powdered sugar and serve. They are excellent both warm and cold. Enjoy your meal!
Tips for you
✔ You can choose to use hazelnut cream or any other flavor you like, even jam works great.
✔ If the pastry is too sticky, you can use parchment paper, preferably perforated (read below).
✔ I recommend using the BBQ mesh to be placed directly in the non-stick basket of your air fryer: the mesh protects the non-stick surface of the basket (which will remain like new) and allows the food to cook evenly, letting air pass through 360 degrees. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here.
✔ Alternatively, you can use perforated parchment paper, which allows air to pass from bottom to top. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here: link.
✔ For this recipe, I used the COSORI 5.5 air fryer in the “red” version (beautiful) which you can find on Amazon here: link
