Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 box frozen Puff Pastry with 2 sheets thawed
  • 1 egg slightly beaten
  • Coarse sugar crystals I use decorator sugar
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup butter flavored solid shortening
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 jar marshmallow fluff about 7 ounces

Instructions

  • Allow puff pastry to come to room temperature if it is not already thawed. Mine says 40 minutes minimum.
  • Preheat oven to 400 Degree F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap puff pastry and place on a lightly floured surface.
  • Carefully unfold pastry.
  • Cut along the folds of the pastry.
  • Cut each third in half, forming rectangles.
  • Place rectangles on a baking sheet, allowing at least 1 inch between them.
  • Lightly brush each rectangle with beaten egg.
  • Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Place in preheated oven and cook until pastries are puffed up and lightly browned. About 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • While pastries are cooling, make the filling.
  • Cream together butter and shortening until light and fluffy, this may take up to 5 minutes.
  • Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Add vanilla and mix well.
  • Add marshmallow fluff and beat until incorporated and light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Slice cooled pastries in half using a serrated knife.
  • Spread or pipe filling onto the bottom half of the cut pastry and replace the top.
  • These can be stored at room temperature.

Notes

  • These can be made in smaller pastries by cutting the puff pastry into smaller pieces.
  • Make sure the oven is hot. Once it has preheated, give it another 15 minutes to heat up.
