Materials and Instructions
To make
cream and berry filled
pastry balls, you will need the following ingredients:
If you want your pastry to be crunchy on the outside, use a light and fluffy dough like choux pastry or a recipe that includes butter.
The soft center is a delicious filling like mascarpone, cream cheese, or whipped cream.
A berry compote is a sweet and slightly tangy dessert made with fresh berries like raspberries, strawberries, or a mix of different berries.
Vanilla extract improves the flavor of the cream filling.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on the pastry balls and then use them to sweeten the cream filling.
Not mandatory. You can use white chocolate or colorful sprinkles to cover or decorate the pastry balls, making them look nice and adding some texture.
Cream and Berry Pastry Balls: A Recipe with Instructions
Prepare the pastry dough. You can either follow the instructions in your recipe or use ready-made dough to make the pastry. To create small pastry balls in different sizes, flatten the dough and cut it into circles or squares.
To start baking the dough, preheat your oven to the temperature indicated in your recipe. Once you have prepared a baking sheet, place the pieces of dough on it and bake them until they are puffy and golden brown. Allow them to cool down completely.
The berry sauce can be prepared while the pastry is baking. Add sugar and lemon juice to a pot, then put in some fresh berries. The berries will become soft and the mixture will get thicker as it cooks on medium heat. Let it cool down.
Mix mascarpone, cream cheese, or whipped cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and fluffy to make the cream filling. If you want to enhance the flavor even more, consider adding some lemon peel.
Create the pastry balls by making a small hole in each cold pastry ball. Put the cream filling in the center and then add a small amount of berry compote on top using a spoon or a piping bag. Slightly push the sides of the opening together to shut it.
To decorate and serve, you can either dip each small pastry in melted white chocolate or prepare a glaze. You can also cover them with sprinkles or crushed almonds for a different texture. Put the finished pastry balls on a plate and sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
Tips for Making Delicious Pastry Balls
Don’t work the dough too much for a crispy and light texture. Maintain the Dough’s Fluffiness. To get a crunchy outer layer, bake the choux dough for the suggested time.
The key to making a delicious pastry ball is to balance the sweetness of the crumb without making it too strong
