Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

Cream Pies with Caramel Topping


I watched on TV a similar recipe from Jamie Oliver a few days ago. These pies are really very easy to make and they are delicious in taste. I added vanilla extract in the cream filling and I increased the baking time since I found out that the puff pastry needed a bit more time to be baked than the original recipe.

Below you can find all the steps in making the recipe. I hope you like it…!



















Cream Pie with Caramel Topping, baked in the oven

Pie Ingredients

 425gr puff pastry (1 square sheet)
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon


Filling Ingredients

 1 cup of fresh milk
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract


Topping Ingredients

4 tbsp caster sugar
200ml fresh cream (1 cup)


Preparation Method

Pastry
  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF.
  2. Lay the pastry on a nonstick silicone sheet.
  3. Sprinkle on the pastry cinnamon and sugar.
  4. Roll puff pastry and cut it into six equal pieces.
  5. Push down with your fingers each piece, and then place each one into a six-cup cake pan.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes.

Filing
  1. Mix with a whisk all ingredients; then fill the baked pastry as it is in the cupcake pan.
  2. Bake for another 25-30 minutes.
  3. Set aside; allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove baked pies from the cupcake pan.

Topping
  1. Put the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan and simmer until sugar melts without stirring; then pour the fresh cream and stir all the way until melted sugar and fresh cream are blended.
  2. Pour caramel on top of the baked pies and serve.
