These golden puff pastry treats are light, flaky, and filled with a creamy vanilla flavor. With just a package of puff pastry and vanilla pudding powder, they make an easy dessert for breakfast, afternoon coffee, or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
1 package puff pastry, thawed
1 package instant vanilla pudding powder
1 cup cold milk
1 egg, beaten
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package directions using the cold milk. Chill until thickened.
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into strips or rectangles.
Add a small amount of vanilla pudding to each piece of pastry. Fold or twist the pastry to enclose the filling.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with beaten egg.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
Keep the puff pastry cold while working with it for the flakiest texture.
Don’t overfill the pastry, as the pudding can escape during baking.
Let the finished pastries cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
These simple puff pastry treats are crisp on the outside, creamy in the center, and wonderfully easy to make.
