Ingredients
For the pastry + filling:
- 400g pastry cream
- 2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsp apricot jam
Fruits:
- 4-5 strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 2 kiwi fruit, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 navel oranges
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°c. Line baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water to make an egg wash.
Step 3
Unfold puff pastry into one large rectangle, remove any paper and lightly brush the egg wash over one half of the pastry, making a square. Fold the plain puff pastry over the egg wash pastry to make a double layer. Using a pastry knife, score around the edge of the dough leaving a 1.5cm border. Do not cut right through the pastry.
Step 4
Bake pastry for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, puffed and flaky.
Step 5
Allow to cool, then spread the pastry cream evenly within the shell.
Step 6
Decorate with the fruit in an attractive pattern and finish by carefully brushing the fruit with warmed apricot jam.
Step 7
Serve immediately with a nice cup of warming tea.
