Ingredients
- 1 sheet PampasPuff Pastry, just thawed
- 125g cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup CSR Caster Sugar
- 2 tspns finely grated lemon zest
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 ½ tbsns blueberry jam
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Icing
- 1/2 cup CSR Icing Sugar, sifted
- 1½ tspns, approx boiling water
- 2 tbsns lightly toasted flaked almonds
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
- Cut pastry into 9 equal squares. Lay the pastry squares onto the lined trays, leaving room in between for spreading. Score a 1cm inner border around the pastries (do not cut all the way through the pastry).
- Place cream cheese, caster sugar, lemon zest and egg yolk in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Place a tablespoon of mixture into the centre of each pastry square. Ensure that no filling sits on the border. Top the cream cheese mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of blueberry jam and lightly swirl with skewer.
- Brush the pastry borders with egg. Bake 15 minutes or until pastry is golden. Cool.
- Make icing. Place icing sugar in a bowl. Stir in sufficient boiling water to make a thick, but still pourable icing. Use a teaspoon to drizzle icing over pastries, then scatter with almonds.
