Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 box instant pudding vanilla or chocolate
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 egg beaten for egg wash
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Pudding
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out creases. Cut into 8 equal rectangles.
  5. Place a spoonful of chilled pudding in the center of each pastry rectangle. Fold or seal edges as desired, using a fork to crimp if necessary.
  6. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
  7. Let pastries cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use for maximum puff.
  • Overfilling can cause leakage during baking.
  • Best served the same day, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
