Creamy pistachio swirl recipe

The idea, as you can see in the photo, was to recreate the original recipe as I had made it some time ago. Unfortunately, I do not have the photograph to show you the original shape, which was supposed to be a puff pastry tree; but there are many variations in cooking… I changed the mold, thinking it would help me do better. I did not account for the variations… Patience, as soon as I can I will post the picture of the trees.

Instead of a tree, I created a spiral, which will help me find and understand the mistake. In the meantime, I gave my recipe a different shape.

On the holiday table, sweets are a must and this dessert represents a melty encounter of different flavors and textures in a crispy puff pastry shell with a creamy and flavorful heart.

Steps

When I enter the kitchen, the mind flies elsewhere and relaxes. I often cook at night, in the quiet, with background music…

Cut strips from the puff pastry sheet, divide into eight parts. As specified in the tools, I used the tree mold…
Arrange the strips around the molds. I usually use steel cones, but I changed and, not having them well sealed at the top, the puff pastry fell down; of course, I recovered, and instead of calling them trees, I changed the name. Place in a preheated oven at 390°F and let them brown.
Meanwhile prepare the cream by mixing the mascarpone, sugar, crumbled amaretti, and chocolate shavings.
Let the spirals cool and fill them with the obtained cream, plus a teaspoon of pistachio cream, complete with chocolate shavings.
Decorate with additional cream tufts
Dust with powdered sugar and your spiral is ready… Fragrant, tasty, and very melty!
