Denish puff with berries

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make Denish puffs with berries? First of all, prepare the cream, it will have to cool completely. Prepare the products for him. How to make a cream? Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over low heat until the first signs of boiling, that is, until bubbles appear.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a bowl, add sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Add three yolks. Whisk the mixture until smooth. Do not be surprised by the presence of salt in the sweet cream — it will make the taste more saturated.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add flour and mix.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour hot milk into the mixture in parts (in a thin stream), stirring well with a whisk after each serving.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the cream base back into the saucepan and bring it to a thickening over low heat. The cream should be constantly stirred so that it does not go into lumps and does not burn. It is most convenient to do this with a whisk.

6. Step 6:

   

   It took me about ten minutes to cook the cream in order for it to become thick enough. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set to cool. When the cream cools down, it will become even thicker and will hold its shape even better.

7. Step 7:

   

   Prepare the fruit. Wash the tangerine, peel and divide into slices. To make the slices more convenient to eat, I recommend carefully cleaning each of them from white films.

8. Step 8:

   

   Wash the pear, free it from the core with seeds and cut it into thin plates.

10. Step 9:

    

    Wash the grapes and cut them in half, remove all the bones. I used berries of both light and dark grapes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Prepare the dough. Usually puff pastry is sold frozen in the form of two layers. Pre-defrost it by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Cut the layers of puff pastry into four equal parts. If the dough is too thick, then roll it out a little so that it becomes 5 mm thick.

12. Step 11:

    

    Use a sharp knife to make incisions on the blanks, as shown in the photo. Thus, the two opposite corners should remain uncut.

13. Step 12:

    

    Wrap the edges of the workpiece and stack them one on top of the other. This way you will get beautiful sides and a recess for the filling. Place the blanks on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil or lined with parchment paper (I used a special Teflon sheet). Prick the dough with a fork so that it does not swell when baking. The distance between the puffs should be about 2 cm, as they will increase significantly in size.

14. Step 13:

    

    Distribute the cooled cream inside the blanks. For each puff you will need about a tablespoon of cream with a slide.

15. Step 14:

    

    Decorate the denishi with prepared fruits. Leave them in a warm place for proofing for twenty minutes.

16. Step 15:

    

    Brush the puffs with lightly beaten egg yolk using a cooking brush. Bake them in a preheated 200 degree oven for about 30 minutes until a golden crust forms. remove the finished puffs from the oven and cool before serving.
