Ingredients

Puff Pastry and Pastry Topping

  • Puff pastry sheets (store-bought or homemade)
  • Egg wash (eggs and water)
  • Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Raspberry Cream Filling

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Heavy cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Cream Filling: Begin by blending fresh raspberries until smooth, then strain to remove seeds for a silky texture. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, gently folding in the raspberry puree to create a smooth, airy filling.
  2. Roll and Cut the Puff Pastry: Thaw your puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Roll them out lightly on a floured surface to even thickness. Cut the pastry into long strips, about 1.5 inches wide and 12 inches long, perfect for rolling into the cruffins.
  3. Shape the Cruffins: Take each puff pastry strip and spread a thin layer of raspberry cream filling across it. Starting from one end, tightly roll the strip into a spiral resembling a muffin shape, tucking the end underneath to secure it.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Place each rolled pastry into a greased muffin tin. Brush the tops with egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny crust once baked. Sprinkle granulated sugar over each for a sweet crunch.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake the cruffins in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing them from the tin to maintain their shape.
  6. Fill and Finish: Once cooled, use a piping bag to fill each cruffin with extra raspberry cream if desired, making sure each bite is burstingly fruity and creamy. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Chill your tools: Keep your mixing bowls and beaters cold for a fluffier cream.
  • Don’t overfill: Use just enough filling to keep pastry layers from becoming soggy.
  • Watch the oven closely: Puff pastry can burn quickly; keep an eye on color near the end of baking.
  • Use fresh raspberries: They provide better flavor and texture for the cream filling.
  • Roll tight but gently: To keep pastry layers intact without squashing their flakiness.
