Air-Fryer Chocolate Éclair Puff Parcels

Air-fryer chocolate éclair puff parcels from Sweet Munch, built for hot pastry, molten centres, sticky sugar and proper dessert chaos.

This is what happens when a chocolate éclair decides it wants less elegance and far more chaos. Crisp pastry. Vanilla cream. Chocolate topping. Golden flaky layers. The sort of dessert that looks fairly sensible until the first bite sends cream and chocolate in three different

Air-Fryer Chocolate Éclair Puff Parcels preparation stage

You’ll Need

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
150ml double cream
1 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
75g milk chocolate
1 tbsp double cream (for the chocolate topping)
For The Finish
1 tbsp icing sugar
25g grated chocolate
Optional But Dangerous
White chocolate drizzle
Extra whipped cream
Vanilla ice cream

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal rectangles.

Place onto baking paper in the air fryer basket with space between each piece.

Air fry at 180°C for 8–10 minutes until puffed, golden, and crisp.

Allow the pastry rectangles to cool completely.

Whip the double cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract together until thick enough to hold its shape.

Carefully slice the pastry rectangles in half horizontally.

Pipe or spoon the vanilla cream generously into the middle of each one.

Melt the milk chocolate with the extra tablespoon of cream until smooth and glossy.

Spread the chocolate mixture over the tops of the pastry parcels.

Finish with grated chocolate and a light dusting of icing sugar.

Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes before serving.

Lad Tip: The pastry must be fully cooled before adding the cream. Warm pastry turns whipped cream into sweet soup. France would be upset. More importantly, so would you.
