CREAM-FILLED TURNOVERS, in air fryer, easy and quick, delicious recipe perfect for breakfast or a snack to make in a short time.
I wanted something sweet but without turning on the oven and without spending hours in the kitchen, so these cream-filled turnovers were born, a clever recipe that can be prepared in a few minutes and pleases everyone. Crispy on the outside, creamy inside, perfect when you want a quick dessert for breakfast, a snack, or even after dinner.
These sweet turnovers in an air fryer are ideal if you have little time or want a lighter alternative to classic frying. You prepare them with few ingredients, a quick shortcrust pastry without butter, fill them with custard (even leftover) and in less than 10 minutes, you have an aromatic and delicious dessert.

CREAM-FILLED TURNOVERS
👉 Smart tip: seal the edges well to prevent the cream from leaking out and lightly brush with milk or egg for perfect browning.
👉 Quick variant: you can use ready-made cream or custard made in advance.
👉 Storage: best enjoyed fresh, but also good cold for the next day’s breakfast.
👉 If you make custard with plant-based milk → becomes lactose-free
👉 If you make vegan pastry + custard → becomes vegan
👉 If you make gluten-free pastry → becomes gluten-free
