Puff Pastry & Strawberry Fingers (Special Halloween)

Halloween is already here so I propose you to do these fingers and you will surprise anyone who comes to your house to ask for candies.

Ingredients:

- 1 puff pastry.

- Strawberry Jam or Syrup.

- Icing Sugar (optional).

- Dried fruits (like almonds, to do the nails).

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Cut the dough in 2 halves and if we want, we can sprinkle icing sugar on top. Cut one half into strips  of about 2.5 cm wide. Cut each strip in 3 and put a little of strawberry syrup. Now cut the other dough into strips and do the same that with the first dough, but without putting syrup. Now put the dough without syrup on one with syrup and press the edges to close it, then do the shape of the finger.  Finally we put the dried fruit as a nail and put in the oven to 180 degrees until golden.

After that let it cool and decorate with a little of syrup or jam like blood.

Orange Mini Tartlets

Some time ago I tried this typical Portuguese dessert, I enjoyed it and needed to try something similar again. After much research, finally I have the recipe and now I'm going to share this with you, so you can see how good they are.

Ingredients for the Tartlets:

- 125ml of Cream.

- 1 Spoon of Sugar.

- Cinnamon.

- 1 Egg.

- Orange Zest.

- Half of a plaque of Puff pastry.

Ingredients for the caramel:

- Orange juice.

- Sugar.

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

First we put cinnamon on our puff pastry and extend it with the hand. Now roll up the dough and cut it in half, these two halves cut it again, this time in 3. Now we take the dough pieces, put them standing and crushed. In a baking cupcakes or tarts mold, we put each of the dough pieces and extends the dough to make the shape of tartlet. Put in the oven at 180 degrees for about 8 minutes (be careful, if it starts to brown before 8 minutes, remove from the oven).

While the other is in the oven, prepare the filling. In a bowl mix the cream, sugar, egg and orange zest. Once we have and the tarts are out of the oven, we take our hot tarts and crush carefully inside to make more space. Then we fill the tarts with the filling and put them back in the oven at 180 degrees until the filling is puffed like a cake.

Once ready, let cool and prepare the caramel in a saucepan with sugar and orange juice. When the caramel is ready, we decorate our tarts and ready to enjoy.

I hope you liked the recipe and do not forget to share with family and friends.

Puff pastry christmas tree

Hi every body and welcome again! Today we are going to make a very funny and sweet christmas tree!!

Ingredients:

- 2 plaques of puff pastry.

- Chocolate cream.

- An egg.

Preparation:

(Preheat the oven to 200 degrees)

First we’re going to use one of the plaques of puff pastry, put it on baking paper and now we put chocolate cream in the pastry (the quantity of chocolate cream, depends on the person).

When we have it, we have to put the other plaque above the other that has the chocolate cream. Now we have to make the shape of the christmas tree and then, we make horizontal cuts except in the trunk of the tree (must leave the central trunk, the cut will not be complete from left to the right).

After making the cuts, you have to wrap each piece that is cut to make the shape of the christmas tree and then paint the tree with the egg. When we have it, it’s time to put this on the baking tray and then put in the oven at 200 degrees until it’s gold.

It’s perfect for eating hot or if you prefer you can let it cool.
