Whether topped with fruit, cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar, these treats are guaranteed to impress!

Ingredients

  • 🥐 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 🍓 1/2 cup fruit preserves or jam (strawberry, apricot, or raspberry)
  • 🍬 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for garnish)
  • 🥚 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 🌿 Optional: Fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate drizzle for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the puff pastry:
    • Roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly on a floured surface.
    • Cut into desired shapes (squares, rectangles, or circles).
  3. Add the filling:
    • Spoon a small amount of fruit preserves or jam into the center of each pastry piece. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks.
  4. Seal and shape:
    • Fold the pastry to enclose the filling (e.g., fold squares into triangles) and press the edges with a fork to seal. Alternatively, leave open-faced for a danish-style dessert.
  5. Brush with egg wash:
    • Lightly brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Bake:
    • Place pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Cool and garnish:
    • Let the pastries cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar. Add toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate drizzle if desired.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a savory twist, swap the jam for cream cheese or a nut butter filling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
  • Experiment with different fillings like Nutella, lemon curd, or apple pie filling.
