Cupid's Pillows

For the same women's breakfast we made the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast and Apple Tarts for, we made this delectable treat. I mentioned that the ladies considered the french toast to be the best dish served, but personally these pastries exceed even this favorite dish in flavor.

Cupid's Pillows

 



- Danish dough, we used home made but store bought will work too.

- Fresh Raspberries

- Chopped Dark Chocolate

 

Preheat oven to 425F. Spread Danish dough 1/8 inch thin then cut into 3 inch squares. In the center of each square place 1-2 fresh raspberries and a large pinch of dark chocolate. Fold the squares in half diagonally and seal/score with the tines of a fork. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and bake cupid's pillows at 425F for 8-15 minutes, until golden brown.

 

Enjoy!

 

Easy Fruit Tarts

 

 

 You can take the time to make your own puff pastry dough like my mom did for the first time I made these tarts for a church breakfast, but for these easy tarts, I used frozen puff pastry dough from the grocery store, and they went over just as well at the Easter brunch I served them at.

Easy Fruit Tarts

 

1 box frozen puff pastry dough, thawed



Fruit of choice (I used diced apples with cinnamon and granulated sugar and frozen mixed berries, thawed, drained and chopped with a little added granulated sugar.

Preheat oven to 350F. Roll puff pastry dough to 1/8 inch thickness.  Cut each sheet of dough into 12 squares. Use the squares to line muffin tins and fill with desired fruit mixtures. Bake at 350F for 10-20 minutes, until crust has puffed and turned golden brown.

Enjoy!
