Air-Fryer Dulce de Leche Banana Parcels

Air-fryer dulce de leche banana parcels from Sweet Munch, built for hot pastry, molten centres, sticky sugar and proper dessert chaos.

This is what happens when bananas and caramel get left unsupervised inside pastry. Flaky golden pastry. Soft caramelised banana. Dulce de leche. Sticky buttery layers. The sort of dessert that smells so good while it's cooking that people mysteriously appear in the kitchen

Air-Fryer Dulce de Leche Banana Parcels preparation stage

You’ll Need

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
2 ripe bananas, sliced
4 tbsp dulce de leche
25g butter, melted
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
For The Finish
2 tbsp dulce de leche, warmed
1 tbsp icing sugar
Optional But Dangerous
Vanilla ice cream
Crushed pecans
Chocolate sauce

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares.

Place a spoonful of dulce de leche into the centre of each square.

Top with sliced banana and a light sprinkle of cinnamon.

Fold the pastry over to form sealed parcels and crimp the edges with a fork.

Brush generously with beaten egg.

Place into the air fryer basket lined with baking paper, leaving space between each parcel.

Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until puffed, deeply golden, and crisp.

Allow to cool for 2–3 minutes.

Drizzle over the warmed dulce de leche.

Dust lightly with icing sugar.

Serve warm while the banana remains soft and the caramel is still gloriously sticky.

Lad Tip: Bananas get sweeter the hotter they become. If a little dulce de leche escapes and starts bubbling around the edges of the pastry, leave it alone. That's not a problem. That's dessert improving itself.
