I wanted to create a filling that is easy to make, does not require a plethora of ingredients and is fast……but of course delicious. With Mother’s Day upon us, many of us want to give something chocolate and fruity but the same fallback of strawberries dipped in chocolate is so yesterday! Think chocolate and raspberries snoozing in a puff pastry dough. This is a 2-in-1 recipe where you can make heart shaped cookies or turnovers. You pick!
Let’s Begin……
- 35 grams of Nocciolata spread
- 7 grams of Almond Flour/Meal
- 20 grams of Frozen Red Raspberries
- 2 sheets of Puff Pastry (each sheet measures 5X5) and is in square shape
- 1 egg at room temperature (whisked and with a brush)
- Fork or you can crimp dough by hand
- Powder Sugar for dusting
Start by taking out your Puff Pastry out of the freezer. I used 2 sheets that measure 5×5 each. Turn your oven on to 400 degress to preheat. While the dough defrosts just enough to be manageable, combine your fillings ingredients.

- Nocciolata Spread
-
- Almond Meal/Flour
-
- Frozen Raspberries
Using a small spatula or spoon, just mix.
Set the mix aside and then begin by opening an egg and whisking. You can set your pastry brush by it as you will need it.

- Crack egg

- Whisk and I like to just rest my brush in the bowl
Take your 2 sheets of Puff Pastry and by now they should be pliable (not overly soft) to begin working with.
For Turnovers (this will make 4 of them):
Cut one 5 x 5 Puff Pastry Sheet at diagonally, so you are left with 2 triangles
Take your filling and add about 1/4 of it to each triangle
Then take egg wash and brush all sides lightly
Fold dough, as to create a smaller triangle
Softly press making sure each side meets with each other nicely and if any filling comes out, give it a wipe but try not to stress about it 🙂
Then crimp closed with a fork
Give the top an egg wash and repeat the same process with your second turnover
Place both turnovers on parchment paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Allow the pastry to cool and give it a dusting with powder sugar! Serve warm alone, with cream or ice cream.
