- Spatulas
Steps
They are very easy to prepare and provide a quick and tasty solution to surprise your guests or to pamper yourself at any time of the day.
Take the puff pastry from the fridge and leave it at room temperature for a few minutes, so it softens a bit.
Preheat the oven to 392°F and take a baking sheet, lining it with parchment paper.
Spread the puff pastry on the parchment paper and spread the cream evenly over it, leaving some space at the edges.
Place the other puff pastry sheet on top and use a sharp knife to cut it into 21 equal parts.
Take one part at a time and, with your hands, gently pull the two sides of the puff pastry in opposite directions, creating a spiral.
Place the torcetti on the parchment-lined baking sheet, gently brush the surface with milk, and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake the torcetti for about 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Remove the puff pastry torcetti with spreadable cream from the oven and let them cool before serving.
Storage, Tips
It rarely happens that there are leftovers, but if it does, just store them in a tin box for cookies or cover them with foil.
For an alternative version, you can use pistachio spread, jam, or almond cream! Let your creativity flow!
Tips and Variants
• Try substituting hazelnut cream with pistachio cream, peanut butter, or even a thick jam.
• If you want to make them even more delicious, add a handful of chocolate chips before rolling them.
• Want a crunchy touch? A bit of chopped hazelnuts on top will make a difference.
• For a vegan version, make sure the puff pastry and cream don’t contain animal ingredients.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use round puff pastry?Yes, but I recommend cutting it into a more rectangular shape so it’s easier to roll and cut the strips.
Can I use less sugar?
Of course! The external sugar is optional, but it adds an extra crunchy touch.
