Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations 🌿

Gluten-Free: To create a gluten-free version, simply substitute the puff pastry with a gluten-free puff pastry available at most grocery stores. Ensure that all other ingredients are certified gluten-free as well, to avoid any cross-contamination.

Vegan: Making these pastries vegan is easy! Use a vegan puff pastry, replace the cream cheese with a plant-based cream cheese, and substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a similar vegan alternative. For the egg yolk wash, use a mixture of plant-based milk and a hint of agave syrup to achieve a similar golden finish. 🍃✨

Faq

  • Why did my puff pastry not rise properly?

    Ensure your puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold before baking. Also, make sure your air fryer is preheated and at the correct temperature.

  • Can I use a regular oven instead of an air fryer?

    Yes! Bake the pastries in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  • How can I prevent my cream cheese filling from being too runny?

    Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form for the best consistency.

  • Can I make the pastries ahead of time?

    Yes, you can bake the pastries and store them in an airtight container. Add the filling and garnishes just before serving to keep them fresh.

  • What other fillings can I use?

    You can get creative with fillings like pastry cream, fruit preserves, or even a chocolate ganache. The possibilities are endless!

  • How can I ensure an even golden color on my pastries?

    Apply the egg yolk wash evenly with a pastry brush and ensure the pastries are spaced out properly to allow for even air circulation during baking.
