I used my pie dough recipe, the filling was outstanding. A very quick and elegant dessert, perfect with a sup of coffee.

perfect! What an amazingly simple and delishous dessert! I used packaged refrigerated pie crust to make it a little easier and I topped it with some caramel as well. Soooo delish! We had an empanada night, paula dean's chicken empanadas and your potato and chorizo empanada recipe along with your chocolate banana empanada dessert! My hubby sends his thanks for sharing your recipes with me!

I used store bought pre-made dough to cut a few corners and it turned out pretty well. I did have some trouble sealing the empanadas with a fork because the filling kept oozing out. I served it with cinnamon ice cream (store bought from Whole Foods as suggested by one of the other reviews, it paired very well in addition to hiding some of the imperfections of the empanadas.

I have made this many times. I use a pre-made rolled refrigerator dough, add the ingredients on one side, and crimp the dough after sealing it with a little milk to make one large empananda which I then cut at the table after baking and cooling.
This is so easy, I can have it in the oven in under five minutes, and everyone loves it! Tyler hasn't disappointed me yet, and I've been cooking and baking for 50 years.

I didn't have enough dough to finish my banana goop... This was disappointing because now I'm not quite sure what to do with it... It would go well over ice cream... but I don't eat THAT much ice cream... I'm a little puzzled to say the least.

I've made a few things with dough that you have to put stuff in, but this has been by far the most messy. It took me forever to make these, and in the end they weren't that great. They weren't bad, just not worth the effort. Perhaps it would be better to buy the dough instead. But I still won't be making them again. There are better ways to get rid of my ripe bananas.

this was the first time i have ever made empanadas and it was fun making them. My only problem was not having enough dough. so if you do make these buy pre made dough or make extra.

If you are an empanada fan you must try these. Choclatey, but not too sweet! a little time consuming and messy to make, but this did not affect my rating!

This is the recipe for you. Save yourself time and use regular pie dough from the store. And always add more chocolate ;-

This recipe was horrible and created a very dry desert. It took over two hours to create and bake, but produced a terrible result. I would not ever consider making this again, and will try looking elsewhere for an empanada recipe.

very all-consuming and they turned out mediocre at best.
