Cranberry Puff Pastry Rolls

Sisley White
These cranberry puff pastry rolls are so sweet and one of the best easy Christmas party foods you can make. A lot of gorgeous flaky puff pastry with cinnamon sugar and dried cranberries. It brings together the perfect Christmas flavours for a quick and easy cranberry puff pastry dessert. This is my take on cranberry twists. There are so many ways to use up leftover puff pastry including this sweet cranberry puff pastry pinwheels recipe.

Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 375 g Puff Pastry (ready rolled sheet is best)
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 200 g dried cranberries
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Icing Sugar (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Remove the puff pastry from the fridge about 20 minutes before you want to start. This will help it be soft enough to unroll without breaking.
  • Preheat the oven to 200° / 180ºC fan/ Gas 6. Line the baking sheets with baking paper.
  • Unroll the puff pastry sheet.
  • Melt the 50g butter and brush it using a pastry brush over the rolled out pastry.
  • In a bowl mix together the 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and the 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle it over the pastry evenly.
  • Sprinkle over the 200g dried cranberries.
  • Roll up the puff pastry from along the long side. Place it seam side down.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut slices and place them on the prepared baking trays. Give them a little distance between them as they will spread when baking.
  • In the small bowl beat the egg. Use a pastry to brush the egg over the slices of Cinnamon Puff Pastry Swirls.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden.
  • Enjoy when still warm with a dusting of icing sugar, more cinnamon or just straight off the cooling rack.

Notes

  • As an option, you can pop the roll of puff pastry back in the fridge before you cut it, until you need it. Even a 10-minute rest will help. It will still work without popping it back in the fridge.
  • Best served warm from the oven, if not on the day they're made.
