Serves 4


Ingredients:

2 sheets ready-rolled puffed pastry
1 egg white, lightly beaten
300ml thick cream
1 tbsp icing sugar
2 large bananas, thinly sliced
1½ tbsp passionfruit pulp (2 passionfruit)
icing sugar, to dust

Method:

• Preheat the oven to hot 210°C (415°F). Cut each pastry sheet into four 8x12cm retangles to make eight pieces.
• Place the pastry rectangles on a lightly greased baking tray, lightly brush with egg white and bake for 10 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Set aside to cool, then lightly flatten with your hand (this helps the cream to sit better).
• Mix the cream and icing sugar together in a bowl. Spread 2 tbsp of the cream mixture over the flat side of each of four of the pastry rectangles. Top with some banana slices, then drizzle with passionfruit pulp. Cover with the remaining pastry rectangles, puffed-side-up. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately with any remaining cream, if desired.

Serves 4


Ingredients:

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry,thawed
150g sour cream
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 tbsp cream
200g mixed fresh or frozen berries
icing sugar, to dust


Method:

• Preheat the oven to moderately hot 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Cut the pastry sheet into eight 6 x 12cm rectangles, place on the prepared tray and bake for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and lightly golden. Set aside to cool. (If you lightly flatten the puffs with your hand, the cream will sit better).
• Place the sour cream, soft brown sugar and cream in a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Divide into four portions and spoon one portion each onto the flat side of four of the pastry puffs. Top with the mixed berries and cover with the four pastry tops, puffed-side-up. Dust generously with icing sugar and serve immediately.
