These Puff Pastry Baskets are crunchy and go very well with this wonderful light cream. It is so tender, airy, sweet and delicious! I garnished them with the fresh berries. You can use your favorite fruits. They gave the taste of freshness and a slight acidity. They balance out the taste perfectly.
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry dough, thawed
- 16 oz whipped cream
- 1 egg

Instructions
- Lay thawed pastry on the flat surface. Use two circular pastry cutters – one a little bit smaller than the other. Using the large one, cut out 9 circles in one of the puff pastry sheets. Then, using the same large pastry cutter, cut out nine large circles in the other pastry sheet as well. Then, using the smaller one, cut circles into the circles already cut out. Use scraps from dough cut stripes for forming handles for baskets
