Ingredients
- Puff pastry
- 1 sheet, thawed
- Durian flesh
- 1 cup, mashed
- Whipping cream
- 1/2 cup
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares, approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed durian flesh, whipping cream, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Place a spoonful of the durian mixture in the center of each pastry square, ensuring not to overfill.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Brush the top of each puff with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
- Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the durian mixture.
- If you prefer a sweeter filling, adjust the sugar to taste.
- These puffs can also be served with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrast.
