Quick Overview

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 18-20 minutes
• Difficulty: Easy
• Serves: 8-10 rolls

Ingredients

• 1 roll of ready-made rectangular puff pastry
• 5.5 oz (150g) raspberries (fresh or defrosted frozen)
• 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornflour
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional)
• For the Glaze:
• 1.8 oz (50g) cream cheese (at room temperature)
• 2.1 oz (60g) icing sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons milk or lemon juice

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5) and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
2. In a small bowl, combine the raspberries, caster sugar, cornflour, and lemon zest. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
3. Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface or directly onto its parchment paper. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border free along one long side.
4. Roll the puff pastry tightly from the long side towards the free edge. Cut the roll into 8-10 slices, approximately 1-1.2 inches (2-3 cm) thick, and arrange them on the prepared baking tray.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and puffed up. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.
6. For the glaze, in a bowl, whisk the cream cheese with the icing sugar and milk (or lemon juice) until you achieve a smooth cream.
7. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before glazing. Drizzle or spread the glaze over the warm rolls and serve.
