Denish puff pastry with berries

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Denish puff pastries with berries? First of all, prepare the cream; it will have to cool completely. Prepare food for him. How to make cream? Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over low heat until the first signs of boiling, that is, until bubbles appear.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add sugar, vanilla sugar and salt into a bowl. Add three yolks. Whisk the mixture until smooth. Don't be surprised by the presence of salt in the sweet cream - it will make the taste richer.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add flour and stir.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour hot milk into the mixture in parts (in a thin stream), stirring well with a whisk after each portion.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the cream base back into the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened. The cream must be stirred constantly so that it does not form lumps and burn. The most convenient way to do this is with a whisk.

6. STEP 6

   

   It took me about ten minutes to cook the cream until it became thick enough. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to cool. When the cream cools, it will become even thicker and will hold its shape even better.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare the fruit. Wash the tangerine, peel and divide into slices. To make the slices more convenient to eat, I recommend carefully removing the white films from each of them.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the pear, remove the core and seeds and cut into thin slices.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the grapes and cut them in half, removing all the seeds. I used both light and dark grapes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Prepare the dough. Usually puff pastry is sold frozen in the form of two layers. Pre-defrost it by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Cut the layers of puff pastry into four equal parts. If the dough is too thick, roll it out a little until it is 5mm thick.

11. STEP 11

    

    Using a sharp knife, make cuts on the workpieces as shown in the photo. Thus, two opposite corners should remain uncut.

12. STEP 12

    

    Fold the edges of the workpiece and place them one on top of the other. This way you will get beautiful sides and an indentation for the filling. Place the blanks on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil or lined with parchment paper (I used a special Teflon sheet). Prick the dough with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. The distance between the puff pastries should be about 2 cm, as they will increase significantly in size.

13. STEP 13

    

    Distribute the cooled cream inside the preparations. For each puff you will need about a heaping tablespoon of cream.

14. STEP 14

    

    Decorate the denishes with prepared fruits. Leave them in a warm place to proof for twenty minutes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Brush the puff pastry with lightly beaten egg yolk using a pastry brush. Bake them in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Remove the finished puff pastries from the oven and cool before serving.
