The Ultimate Hack to Make Chocolate Croissants in an Air Fryer

If you haven’t jumped on the air fryer bandwagon yet, you’re really missing out.

Not only does it let you cook in a healthier way—using way less oil to get that crispy texture on foods like French fries, chicken tenders, and fried fish—but it’s also super fast and easy. It’s even perfect for reheating leftovers!

Another essential reason: you can make these chocolate croissants!

Your air fryer is bound to become your favorite kitchen item thanks to these hacks!

First up, try using the air fryer to make frozen pizza. Cooking pizza in the oven can feel like it takes forever (and gets messy, especially when the cheese or pepperoni falls off).

Save yourself the trouble with the air fryer.

It’s perfect for those days when you’re not in the mood to cook a whole frozen pizza (we’ve all been there). Just slice the uncooked pizza and pop the slices in the air fryer for a few minutes.

BTW, you can also save yourself the trouble of washing your air fryer after each meal.

Trust us, cleaning up after cooking can get tedious. That’s where air fryer liners come in—genius, right? They work like parchment paper but for the air fryer, stopping food from sticking and making cleanup a breeze.

Next up to “wow” your tastebuds is spicy shrimp in the air fryer.

At this point, it’s hard to think of anything the air fryer can’t do. Seriously, it even handled this year’s taxes! Plus, it whipped up a spicy shrimp dish in no time, making a delicious high-protein meal with minimal effort.

Since there’s always room for dessert, try these air fryer Oreos afterward.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can do with Oreos!

Besides treats like Oreo mug cake, you can even make fair-worthy air-fried Oreos right at home with this simple recipe.

If you’re in the mood for another dessert, you HAVE to try making these chocolate croissants.

Enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, as a snack, or dessert—basically, anytime is a good time for chocolate.

One bite, and you’ll feel like you’re in a cozy café in Paris, with that rich chocolate melting on your tongue.

This recipe was shared on TikTok by The Wire Lady. She shares new recipes to try in your air fryer.

For the chocolate croissant, all you need is a pack of ready-roll croissant pastry (such as Pillsbury) and some chocolate .

“I started off by cutting the pastry, popping the chocolate on and then trying to wrap it in some sort of croissant ball shape,” she began.

She used a chocolate called Puds, which has a delicious truffle filling and rice crisps in the center. Yum!

After assembling that, she egg-washed the pastry and placed them in the air fryer for only eight minutes!

“Look how they come out, they were mouth-watering, they were so nice,” she added.

They turned out perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with rich chocolate oozing out.

“If you love chocolate then you need to give these a go, and they are so nice cold as well.”

People in the comments were all for it. “This is a genius idea,” wrote Morrisons, the grocery store where she got the chocolate from.

“Genius!” seconded another.

“Where [sic] do ya look for that dough. these look lush,” a third commented. “you’re brilliant,” wrote a fourth. They couldn’t wait to try it and neither can we!
