Buttery, flaky layers with gooey cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of cream cheese glaze
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Blackstone Spicy Brown Sugar Seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
- Butter, for greasing the pan
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 oz whipped cream cheese, softened
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Extra Blackstone Spicy Brown Sugar Seasoning, for dusting
Directions
- Preheat the Blackstone Air Fryer drawer to 350°F. Lightly butter a small baking pan that fits inside the drawer.
- In a bowl, mix the softened butter, sugar, cinnamon, and Blackstone Spicy Brown Sugar Seasoning until smooth and spreadable.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the entire sheet.
- Roll the pastry tightly into a log. Slice into 1–1½ inch swirls and place them cut-side up in the buttered pan. Brush the tops with egg wash if using.
- Place the pan in the Air Fryer drawer and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the swirls are golden brown and puffed.
- While the swirls cook, whisk together the powdered sugar, whipped cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Remove the swirls from the Air Fryer and let them cool for 2–3 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm swirls.
- Finish with a light dusting of Blackstone Spicy Brown Sugar Seasoning and serve warm.
