Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or other sugar-free sweetener
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
Instructions
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to create an egg wash.
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut them into equal-sized rectangles, approximately 12 pieces total.
Place the cut-out pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet leaving some space between them.
Brush each pastry piece lightly with the egg wash to help achieve a golden color when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the pastries cool, prepare the cream filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, almond extract, and sweetener.
Whip the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Once the puff pastries are cool, slice through the middle of each pastry to create a top and bottom half.
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the bottom half of each pastry with the whipped cream mixture.
Place the top halves back onto each filled pastry to create a cream-filled sandwich.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy your sugar-free treat!
