A perfect treat for special occasions, combining texture and flavor in every bite. Elegant and indulgent, these pastries will impress your guests.

Ingredients

For the pastry:

2 sheets of puff pastry (Pepperidge Farm)

For the white chocolate mousse:

2 cups white chocolate chips

3 cups heavy whipping cream (1 ½ cups heated, 1 ½ cups cold)

1 drop of coconut flavoring (optional)

For the chocolate ganache:

½ cup milk chocolate chips

¼ cup heavy whipping cream (heated to almost boiling)

Additional:

2 cups sweetened coconut shreds (optional)

Toasted almonds for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the Mousse: Heat half of the heavy cream until nearly boiling. Pour it over the white chocolate chips, let sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Add the remaining cold cream and coconut flavoring (if using). Refrigerate the mousse until completely cold, preferably overnight.

  • Bake the Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the thawed puff pastry into a 15″ x 11″ rectangle. Poke the surface with a fork and freeze for 20 minutes. Bake with parchment paper and another baking sheet on top for 20 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.

  • Prepare the Ganache: Heat the cream for the ganache until nearly boiling, pour over the milk chocolate chips, and stir until smooth. Transfer the ganache to a ziplock bag for easy drizzling.

  • Assemble the Pastries: Once the puff pastry is cooled, cut it into 28 rectangles. Pipe the chilled white chocolate mousse onto each pastry. Drizzle with the chocolate ganache and top with toasted almonds.

  • Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready. These pastries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for later.

Notes

Add Coconut Flakes: Incorporate coconut flakes into the mousse for extra texture.

Fruit Topping: Top with fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries for a fruity touch.

Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free chocolate and whipped coconut cream as a substitute.
