Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 (14 ounce) package empanada pastry discs
⅔ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
5 bananas, peeled and halved horizontally
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, or as needed
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cinnamon
Directions
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl.
Place an empanada disc on a work surface. Place 1 tablespoon chocolate chips in the center of dough and top with 1/2 banana. Brush edges of empanada disc with egg mixture and fold in half, firmly pinching the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining empanada discs, bananas, and chocolate chips.
Brush empanadas with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Place 3 to 4 empanadas in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd, in the air fryer basket.
Cook in the air fryer until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter and repeat with remaining empanadas.
Meanwhile, whip cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; whip until stiff peaks form. Top warm empanadas with cinnamon whipped cream and sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
Cook's Notes:
Look for empanada discs at Mexican markets in the refrigerated or frozen sections.
If Mexican vanilla is not available, you can substitute pure vanilla extract.
