Air-Fryer Chocolate Cherry Doughnut Pockets preparation stage

You’ll Need

1 tube ready-to-bake croissant dough
30g melted butter
6 tsp thick cherry jam
70g caster sugar
60g dark chocolate, chopped
1 tbsp cocoa powder
To Finish
Icing sugar
Cherry sauce
Optional But Dangerous
Whipped cream
Vanilla ice cream

Method

Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.

Mix the caster sugar and cocoa in a shallow bowl.

Cut the dough into six pieces and flatten each into a round.

Add a teaspoon of cherry jam and a little chopped chocolate to each.

Pinch the dough tightly around the filling and place seam-side down.

Air fry for 7-9 minutes until puffed and golden.

Brush immediately with melted butter and roll in the cocoa sugar.

Rest for 3 minutes before serving with cherry sauce.

Lad Tip: Jam and chocolate both expand when hot. Leave a clean border and seal it properly unless you fancy a Black Forest basket liner.
