Pineapple Pastries

Start your day with a bite of sunshine! Golden flaky pastry meets creamy pineapple filling.

These pineapple pastries are light, crisp, and bursting with tropical flavour. A silky pastry cream, infused with vibrant pineapple natural flavouring, sits at the heart of golden puff pastry and is topped with juicy pineapple pieces and a fresh raspberry for a pop of colour. Finished with a drizzle of icing, they’re a simple yet eye catching treat that’s perfect for brunch, dessert or a sunny afternoon pick me up.

Feeling creative? Swap the pineapple flavour for another of your favourites, try passion fruit or rhubarb.

Instructions

Servings 6 / Prep Time 25 mins / Cook Time 25 mins

  1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil.
  2. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the caster sugar and 2 of the egg yolks, until pale in colour.
  4. Sift in the cornflour, then whisk until smooth.
  5. Mix in the pineapple flavouring.
  6. While whisking, slowly pour in the hot milk.
  7. Add the pastry cream mixture back into the saucepan.
  8. Slowly heat the mixture, whisking constantly, until thickened and just starting to boil.
  9. Push the mixture through a sieve, into a clean bowl.
  10. Cover with cling film, so the film touches the pastry cream, and cool to room temperature.
  11. Once the pastry cream is cool, roll out the puff pastry sheet and divide it into 6 even squares.
  12. Fold the corners of each pastry square into their centres and press down, forming a dent in the middle.
  13. Place the pastry onto a baking tray lined with either a silicone mat or greaseproof baking paper. Make sure to leave a gap between each.
  14. Pipe or spoon approx. 1 tbsp of pastry cream into the middle of each pastry square.
  15. Egg wash the pastry using the remaining egg yolk.
  16. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C/180°C fan for 20 mins, or until puffed up and golden brown. Turn the tray after 15 mins if browning more on one side.
  17. Cool on the baking tray.
  18. Add a little water to the icing sugar and mix until smooth.
  19. Drizzle the icing over the pastries and finish with fresh fruit to serve.
