Blackberry and Cream Puff Pastries

Servings 6 pastries

Ingredients

Blackberry jam:

  • 200g blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn-flour

Pastry:

  • 250g roll of ready made puff pastry
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Toppings:

  • 30g milk chocolate (melted)
  • icing sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 250ml (1 cup) cream (whipped)

Instructions

  1. Heat all the blackberry jam ingredients (apart from the corn-flour) in a small pan until it softens and reduces. Add the corn-flour and continue to cook for a couple of minutes until you are left with a thick sauce. Set to one side. Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC (or as per the pastry's instructions).

  2. Roll out the pastry and slice into 12 squares (I used my pizza slicer and it was so much easier than a knife). Place the squares on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Beat an egg and then "wash" the pastries with it. Bake for around ten minutes, just until they are nice and golden (be careful, the can quickly over-cook).

  3. Allow the pastry squares to cool a little. Take one pastry square and spread a little blackberry jam over and then dollop on some cream. Take another square and place on top, squishing down gently. Repeat with the others.

  4. Melt a little milk chocolate and drizzle over. Let it set a little and then sprinkle over some icing sugar. Enjoy!
