Cherry Parisian (sugar-free)

Cherry Puff Pastries - Fluffy Sugar-Free Delight If you are looking for a recipe that combines tradition with innovation, then these cherry puff pastries are the perfect choice. These stuffed delights are not only exceptionally tasty but also healthy, thanks to the use of the natural sweetener Green Sugar, which brings all the benefits without calories. So, let's explore the preparation of these treats together! Preparation Time: 15 minutes Baking Time: 35 minutes Total Time: 50 minutes Number of Servings: 14 pastries Ingredients: For the Dough: - 450 g flour - 100 g Green Sugar sweetener (based on stevia rebaudiana extract) - 1 egg - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence - Zest of one lemon - 200 ml warm milk - 50 g melted butter - 1 packet dry yeast For the Filling: - 400 g cherries (from the freezer) - 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch - 4 sticks Green Sugar sweetener Step by Step: 1. Preparing the Dough: Start by adding the ingredients to the bread machine’s bowl. Follow this order: - Warm milk - Melted butter - Egg - Sweetener - Lemon zest - Vanilla essence - Flour - Yeast Set the machine to the kneading and rising program. This will save you precious time, and the dough will be perfectly fluffy and ready to shape. 2. Preparing the Filling: While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a pot, mix the frozen cherries with the sweetener and cornstarch. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens, similar to a pudding. This step is crucial as it will ensure a delicious filling. 3. Shaping the Pastries: Once the dough has risen, divide it into 14 equal pieces. Take each piece and roll it out into a rectangle. Add a tablespoon of cherry filling in the center, then fold the dough and press the edges with your fingers to seal. Here’s a trick: to give a more decorative look, cut the other half of the dough into thin strips and wrap them over the sealed part. This will not only enhance the appearance but also add an interesting texture. 4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush them with an egg yolk on top for a golden and shiny appearance. Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden. 5. Finishing Touch: Once the pastries are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle them with Green Sugar sweetener for a sweet finishing touch. Useful Tip: For an even more intense flavor and aroma, you can add a little cinnamon to the cherry filling. This will perfectly complement the tartness of the fruit and add a comforting warmth. Nutritional Benefits: These cherry pastries are an excellent choice due to: - The natural sweetener that has 0 calories and 0 glycemic index, making them suitable for those looking to avoid sugar. - Cherries, which are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, contributing to immune system health. Frequently Asked Questions: - Can I use other fruits for the filling? Absolutely! You can experiment with other seasonal fruits like cherries, apples, or pears. - How can I store the pastries? Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for a week. You can reheat them slightly before serving. - What is the best drink to accompany them? These pastries pair perfectly with a warm fruit tea or a creamy cappuccino, providing a delightful culinary experience. Personalized Version: If you want to add a touch of elegance, try serving the pastries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The warm-cold contrast is simply irresistible! Now that you have all the necessary information, all that’s left is to get to work and enjoy these cherry pastries, a true feast of flavors, perfect for any occasion! Savor every bite!
