Air Fryer Chocolate Egg Croissant Balls

This is so easy I am not sure I can even call this a recipe – with just three ingredients. When I first posted this dish on social media it went viral on an entirely new scale for me – it was featured in national newspapers and even made it onto an American TV news channel! Feel free to be creative with your choice of chocolate egg and if you can’t get the croissant roll, just use puff pastry.

What type of chocolate egg works best?

You can use Cadbury Creme Eggs, Mini Eggs, Caramel Eggs, or even Lindt truffles. Feel free to get creative based on what you love — they all work well in the air fryer.

Can I use puff pastry instead of croissant dough?

Absolutely. If you can’t find croissant roll dough, use ready-rolled puff pastry. Just cut into squares, wrap the chocolate egg, and press the edges to seal.

How do I stop the chocolate from leaking out?

Make sure you seal the pastry tightly around the chocolate egg, pinching the edges firmly. You can brush a little water or egg wash along the edges to help it stick.

Can I make these in advance?

They’re best enjoyed fresh and warm, but you can prep them ahead of time and store them in the fridge until ready to air fry.

Can I freeze these Creme Egg Croissant Balls?

You can freeze uncooked pastry-wrapped eggs. Defrost in the fridge and cook in the air fryer as normal.
