Peaches and Cream on Puffs

I have a sweet tooth and I totally ♥ western desserts. However I don't make many desserts at home because often, special utensils and appliances are required for precise measuements, cutting, mixing and baking. It will not be practical for me to buy them all until I can have a "permanent" personal kitchen.

Kiddo always requests for "special suppers" nowadays. I wonder if I have pampered him too much. (:

I decided to make him something sweet for a change.


Makes 12

Cream:
4 tablespoons thickened cream
2 tablespoons cream cheese
4 tablespoons of caster sugar (5 for brown sugar)

Cream preparation:

• Combine cream, cheese and sugar in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Keep in fridge until usage.

Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
1 can peaches in syrup
1 tablespoon icing sugar


Method:

• Preheat oven at 220 degrees celcius.
• Thaw puff pastry in room temperature for 5 minutes.
• Dust icing sugar over thawed pastry evenly.
• Use a sharp knife to cut pastry into 12 (3 columns x 4 rows) even pieces.
• Brush canola oil on baking tray and transfer cut pastries onto tray.
• Bake in oven for 12 minutes.
• Set baked pastries to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Spread a generous dollop of cream on each cooled pastry.
• Place 1 or 2 pieces (as preferred) of peaches atop the cream.
• Repeat process for all pastries.
  
• Serve pastries with hot tea.

**Notes:

• The flavour is incredibly light and not so sweet. For those who prefer it to be sweeter, adjust the sugar content for cream accordingly.
• If desired, pastries can be brushed with egg wash before popping into oven.
