Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into four equal squares, resulting in a total of eight squares.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash to help them seal.
Fold each square corner to corner to form a triangle or fold diagonally to keep it square, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Place the pastries onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle them with granulated sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
While pastries are baking, prepare the cream filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Once pastries are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
When pastries are cooled, gently slice open the pastries along one side with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Pipe or spoon the whipped cream mixture into each pastry.
Serve immediately or chill for up to two hours in the refrigerator before serving.
