Raspberries In Puff Pastry

This is one of my favorite desserts. Once all the components are ready -- and they can be prepared earlier in the day -- it is a simple matter to put them together. The puff pastry squares, called feuilletees, can also be used to make other desserts -- with various fruits, ice cream and sweet sauces.

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 lb 227g / 8ozPuff Pastry - (see recipe)
1   Egg - beaten with
1 tablespoon 15mlWater - for egg wash
1 cup 237mlHeavy cream - whipped
2 tablespoons 30mlGrand Marnier

3 cups 711mlRaspberries - (1/2 cup per serving)

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Roll out puff pastry to a rectangle slightly larger than 6 by 9 inches, 3/8-inch thick. Cut pastry into six 3- by 3-inch squares. Place them on a baking sheet and brush with egg wash, being careful not to let it drip onto the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes; then lower the heat to 350 degrees, and bake 20 minutes longer.

While the pastry is baking, whisk together in a mixing bowl the whipped cream and Grand Marnier. Chill until needed.

Remove feuilletees from the oven, cool on a wire rack. Then slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom half of each one on a dessert plate and spread with a large dollop of whipped cream mixture. Arrange the berries on the whipped cream and top with the remaining half of the feuilletee.

Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
