Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to avoid lumps.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, making a total of 8 squares.
Place a tablespoon of pineapple filling in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leakage during baking.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing opposite corners together. Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges by pressing down gently.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush this over the tops of the puffs to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar for garnish, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
