For 8 portions

Ingredients

Pastry:

1 package puff pastry
milk for brushing
8 g vanilla sugar for sprinkling

Cream:

200 ml whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
125 g mascarpone
1 teaspoon lemon extract (or to taste)

For decoration:

powdered sugar for dusting

Preparation procedure

Pastry preparation: Roll out the puff pastry and cut into smaller squares. Brush each square with milk and fold into triangles. Transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush again with milk and sprinkle with vanilla sugar.
Baking: Place in a preheated oven and bake at 180 °C for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and nicely crispy.
Cream preparation: In a bowl, whip the whipping cream. Add powdered sugar, mascarpone and lemon extract. Whip everything into a smooth, medium-stiff cream. Transfer the finished cream into a piping bag fitted with a decorating tip.
Filling the pockets: After baking, let the pastry cool for a while, then make a lengthwise slit in each pocket (not all the way) and fill with the prepared cream in wavy lines.
Decoration: Dust the finished pastries with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
