Making this dish is like doing magic—the food just disappears!

These Air Fryer Cherry Cream Cheese Croissants bring together the rich, decadent flavors of creamy cheese and the tart sweetness of cherries, all wrapped up in a flaky croissant pastry. The croissant, originally from Austrian and French traditions, has become a darling in bakeries worldwide. This streamlined recipe is perfect for those busy mornings or a delightful dessert, allowing you to enjoy a bakery-quality treat right from your air fryer. It's an easy yet impressive dish that friends and family will love.
These croissants are perfect on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a fresh fruit salad or a light yogurt parfait for breakfast. For dessert, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate or honey for added indulgence. A hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk makes for a perfect accompaniment.
