Ingredients

Scale

400 g fraises fraîches
250 g mascarpone
50 g sucre
1 cuillère à café extrait de vanille
2 rouleaux de pâte feuilletée
1 jaune d'œuf
Farine pour saupoudrer

Instructions

Prepare the filling by combining the cut strawberries, mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut into squares (10 cm each). Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form triangles and seal the edges firmly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Brush the tops with egg yolk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Keywords: For a lighter option, consider substituting half of the mascarpone with cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. These pastries can be made with a variety of fruits—try using raspberries or blueberries if strawberries are not available. Ensure your puff pastry is kept cold before baking for a flaky texture; handling it at room temperature can cause it to become soggy. Leftover pastry triangles can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make the pastry lose its crispness.
