This recipe combines fresh raspberries and fresh whipping cream. Flaky raspberry diamond pastry are perfect as brunch dessert to impress your guests on any occasion.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
For raspberry diamond pastry need only six ingredients to make these crispy, flaky, buttery, and fruity deliciousness. There are many folding ways how to shape pastry dough. This diamond envelope cut is perfect for holding the fresh cream filling in the middle!
- Puff pastry – I prefer store-bought frozen puff pastry, but please check the ingredients, some may contain alcohol! You can make your own delicious homemade puff pastry, but the technique is more advanced.
- Icing sugar – (for dusting). If you don’t have this ingredient, you can just blend sugar in a blender until powdered.
- Eggs – I always use free-range eggs for the pastry brush and golden finish.
- Fresh Cream – I prefer at least 40 % fat double fresh fresh, than instant powder
- Fresh Fruits – This could be raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries, whatever you like!
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. According to package instructions defrost your puff pastry dough and keep it in the fridge before you start. Get everything ready! Once puff pastry dough is not enough chilled, it can be hard to work with. Slightly dust your surface and remove the pastry from the packaging. Roll out the pastry into 2 squares around 20 cm in size and cut each into 4 squares. Make two diagonal cuts inside of the square, leaving about 1/4 of pastry. Take the outer corner and fold it over. Repeat the other side to make diamond shape.
2. The egg wash will also give the pastries nice golden color. Preheat oven for a minimum of 15 minutes before baking! This is very important when you work puff pastry, hot allows the layers to rise. Bake on 150 °C for about 20 minutes or until golden and puffed up. Allow to cool down pastries. Finish with fresh cream in the center and top with fresh raspberry in the middle.
FILLING IDEAS
My favorite diamond puff pastry filling is jam filling, but also like it with fresh or baked fruits. Variations are endless and I tried many. If you are looking for other ideas for this recipe, this doesn’t have to be just raspberries and cream cheese.
- fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry or plum jam) baked with pastry or filled after baking
- fresh fruits (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
- cream cheese baked with pastry
- whipped cream with fresh fruits
- lemon curd
- chocolate spread or chocolate ganache
