Making this danish recipe is quick and easy!
Here’s a simple guide to get you started.
Gather your ingredients:
Always preheat your air fryer before cooking for the best results. This ensures even cooking and crispiness on the outside.
Flatten each biscuit and fill with a dollop of your filling choice.
Then fold the edges over the filling.
Brush tops with an egg wash and air fry until golden.
Make sure to leave space between the Danish pastries in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
Drizzle with the icing.
Let your Danish cool for a couple of minutes before serving to let the filling set.
Swap out the biscuit dough for refrigerated crescent roll dough to create a flaky, golden base for your Danish.
For a delicious twist, try filling them with different fruits like sweet cherry pie filling, apple pie filling, or strawberry preserves. You can also use lemon curd or blueberry jam for a burst of flavor, or even mix cream cheese with a bit of vanilla for a rich, creamy filling. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative with your favorite fillings!
To reheat Danish in an air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 330°F. Place the Danish in the basket, leaving space between each piece. Heat for about 3-5 minutes, checking for desired warmth and crispiness. This method will refresh the pastry, making it crispy on the outside while keeping the inside soft.
To cook frozen Danish pastries in an air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 330°F 165°C. Place the frozen Danish in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and heated through.
