Ingredients
- 1 round puff pastry
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (room temperature)
- 3-4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Raspberry or strawberry jam
- ¾ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen thawed)
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
VANILLA GLAZE
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons cream or milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375F/190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl beat together the ricotta cheese and the powdered sugar.
- In medium bowl mix together the raspberries and jam.
- Unroll the puff pastry and lightly roll out with a rolling pin. Cut into 16 triangles.
- Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet slightly overlapping to form a 19inch / 46cm row (see photos). Press down on the edges to keep it in place.
- Spread the ricotta mixture down the row, then top with the raspberry filling. Start closing the triangles one at a time, starting at the top, gently press down to seal the edges. Gently form into a candy cane. Lightly brush with milk and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and baked.
- Let cool 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet, then move the puff pastry with the paper to a wire rack to cool completely, drizzle with the glaze or dust with powdered sugar before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
Cup of Yum
VANILLA GLAZE
- Stir together the sifted powdered sugar, cream or milk and vanilla until smooth. Add more or less cream to reach desired thickness.
Notes
- If you prefer you could use strawberries instead of raspberries or even cherry pie filling.
- If you find that the raspberries are very sour you could stir in a little sugar.
- Store leftovers of the candy cane puff pastry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
