25 min

Difficulty:

Expert

Ingredients:

  • 200g of all-purpose flour
  • 100g of cold unsalted butter
  • 50g of granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 200g of assorted fresh fruits (such as blueberries, strawberries, and apples)
  • 100g of cream cheese
  • 50g of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)

Kitchen Tools Needed:

  • Oven
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Brush

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cold butter cut into small pieces, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the large egg to the mixture and quickly combine until a dough forms. Avoid overworking the dough, then wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
  • Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a floured surface to about 5mm thick. Cut into squares or circles, roughly 10cm in size.
  • Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry piece, then add a few pieces of assorted fresh fruit on top.
  • Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to create a sealed pocket and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with the egg yolk to give them a golden color when baked.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
