FAQs

How do I prevent the puff pastry from becoming too puffy?

Poking the pastry with a fork before baking helps prevent excessive puffing.

Can I use store-bought pastry cream?

Yes, store-bought pastry cream works if you’re short on time.

What if I don’t have raspberries?

You can use other berries or even sliced peaches or mangoes.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

You can prepare the pastry and cream in advance, but assemble them just before serving to keep the pastry crisp.

How do I keep the layers from sliding?

Make sure the pastry cream is thick and chilled before assembling. You can also refrigerate the assembled cookies for a short time.

Can I use phyllo dough instead of puff pastry?

Phyllo dough is much thinner and crisper, so it won’t give the same texture but can be used for a lighter variation.

What can I do if my pastry cream is too runny?

Cook it a bit longer until thickened, or add a little more cornstarch.

How do I cut the pastry without breaking it?

Use a sharp knife and cut gently with a sawing motion to avoid crushing the layers.

Can I add a flavored liqueur to the pastry cream?

Yes, a small amount of Grand Marnier or Amaretto can enhance the flavor.

What can I serve with these cookies?

They pair well with coffee, tea, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
