How to cook Puff strips with cream

Step 1

Defrost puff pastry. Using a cookie cutter, cut into circles 6 cm in diameter. Roll each circle into a strip 12 cm long. Lubricate each strip with yolk on top and sprinkle with sugar. Transfer to a baking sheet covered with parchment and bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees.

Step 2

Cut the finished strips lengthwise into 2 parts. If the strips did not rise well, then use 2 strips (not cut) for 1 cake. Cool the cream and beat with sugar. On one part of the strip, spread whipped cream in a thick layer and close the top with the sugar part of the strip.

Puff strips with cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use something other than puff pastry for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute puff pastry with phyllo dough or even crescent roll dough, though the texture and flakiness will vary.

What can I use instead of cream for a lighter option?

For a lighter option, try using whipped coconut cream or a low-fat whipped topping instead of traditional cream.

How long do these puff strips stay fresh, and how should I store them?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. They’re best enjoyed fresh, as the pastry may soften over time.

Can I make these puff strips ahead of time and freeze them?

Yes, you can freeze the baked and unfilled puff strips for up to 1 month. Thaw and add fresh cream just before serving.

Are there any vegan substitutes for the egg yolk glaze?

For a vegan option, brush the pastry with a mixture of maple syrup and plant-based milk instead of egg yolk.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Use a gluten-free puff pastry alternative and ensure all other ingredients, like sugar, are gluten-free certified.

Can I add flavors to the cream filling?

Absolutely! Try mixing in vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or citrus zest for extra flavor.

What’s the best way to serve these puff strips?

Serve them as a dessert with fresh berries or as a sweet snack with a dusting of powdered sugar.

My puff pastry didn’t rise well—what did I do wrong?

This could happen if the dough wasn’t cold enough before baking or if the oven wasn’t fully preheated.
